well was going to change my oil tonight so i went down to the parts store but seems no one has 5w-20 oil. went to 3 different places but only one of them had 5w-20 but it was sold out.
soooo, is there a question or was it meant to be a rant?
yeah it needs 5w-20 and your mds may not activate properly with anything heavier. If anything i would imagine 5w-30 to be last resort and sufficient enough possibly. I run it but my mds is turned off.
man thats weird, I usually have problems finding 5w-30. 5w-20 is what a lot of the newer engines like. This is even out of your manual for your year and model truck.
sorry. had to vent a little bit. My truck told me to change oil about 300 miles ago. but i just got back into town and i decided to do it tonight but noooooooo of course not.
Guess im gunna have to the dealership and get it done. but i have to make an appointment which makes me mad most places you just drive in and sit in the waiting room and leave.

Going to the dealer is kind of a drastic step isn't it? I mean, before opening a vein to have them do it, I think I would try 5w30 if 20 is impossible to find,
