I bought my 96 CSE at 90,600 and it had had dino oil all its life, changed pretty regularly at about 3K. I went to Mobil1 10w30 at 92000 mles and have had no leaks at all in the past 12K miles. Car uses maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a quart in 8000 miles (change interval with synthetic).
I didn't do the flushing thing, figuring the engine was fairly clean since oil was done regularly.
Just use a good filter. Purolator PURE 1 or Mann or Saab (same as Mann) seem to be good bets.
Oil can be a religious issue here abouts, though!
