What is the best motor oil for a 2003 chevy impala and 1 more thing?
Wintertime being on us, I would suggest a 5w30 oil. Now it is your choice on going conventional or synthetic or even semi synthetic. There are many folks out there that will tell you, %26quot;use brand X and not brand Y%26quot; but all in all, all the oils out there on the store shelf will do the job. Personally, I chose to use Valvoline Durablend ( a semi synthetic oil ) which does cost a bit more, but not quite as much as full synthetic. I have had no problems with Castrol or Quaker State oils as well, but sadly have had problems with Pennzoil. As I did say before, some folks will tell you to use a particular brand, I simply put my preference and experience up and you will choose what you want. Make sure you recycle the used oil properly, and dont forget to use clean motor oil to lube the gasket on the oil filter when you install it.
For your wipers, the general rule of thumb is twice a year. I tend to do mine spring and fall. If you have streaking, just go ahead and replace the wiper blades, its not a big cost, and the visability just could save you from an accident. Good luck

castrol gtx is best oil to get
if getting a squeak on windshield when wipers in downward motion then they need changing other than that look to see if frayed or worn down also a good idea to change them yearly
5w-30 if you can get it trop artic
The ONLY reason manufacturers recommend 5W30 is because they are required to; due to the fact that they run the light oil in the engine for the EPA mileage test.
Run Shell Rotella-T, 15W40 unless you're in a really cold climate. It has better lubricity than synthetics. Hot Rod magazine did a multi-page article about oils, particularly as they relate to camshaft wear, a few months back. Basically car oil is getting worse, due to emission requirements on new cars, diesel oil is still carrying the max amount of what provides lubrication, which is what all, especially used %26amp; older, cars need.

Replace wiper inserts when they streak.
