Exclamation Motor Oil Question

I am doing an oil change tomorrow and I dont know what kind of oil/filter to put in my 2001 Sebring LXi Sedan with the 2.7L. I DO plan to put a bottle of Lucas Oil Treatment in the crank case. In less than a week I am making a trip from Ohio to Wisconsin for a week then driving back. I plan to drive up there alot also. My car has 114,6XX on it and I mostly drive conservatively for MPG purposes but like to open it up wide every now and then. I do mainly city driving but some highway, I would say 90% city. Should I go with conventional, blend, full synthetic. Regular, high mileage, extended life? What brand...so on and so fourth. I also planned on a Fram oil filter(orange or silver), let me know if you have any suggestions on that as well as oil. I will appreciate any advice! Please try to comment ASAP

i will try and help you out to what i have heard. its not much i might add. some if the car has never had synthetic oil before , no reason for it now? something about more harm then good? and if you start to use synthetic oil , you should never go back to regular oil. however im sorta a professional motorcycle stunt rider and or tech always uses synthetic motor oils in all our bikes. (i ride with a group of guys) a team. no probs that im aware of , but then again i dont work on them. and we never buy new bikes , due to the fact we are always wrecking them and tearing them up. i like synthetic oil. but then again it could be different for a bike and a car? I currently date this chick who drives a bmw a 5 series , she asked me to pick it up from the dealership for her , it just had it oil change , i say no prob , besides i wanted to rag the **** out of it. picked it up and of course she left me with the bill (she forgot to mention) it was $278) i ask the guy - for a oil change? he replies we use synthetic oil to keep it under warranty. i dunno , must be good oil?

still ragged on the bmw , it surprised me , i didnt know they were that quick? i thought that was all Hollywood?
