Hmmm Ill have to check that out. My next oil change is due in 1800 miles. I'll bump up to the 40 then (16,800 miles). He seems to love the 0w20 alot more than the 5w30. I'll check Walmart today or tomorrow when I've got time, thats hilarious that Walmart would have it and Pep Boys wouldnt.

 

I don't know as much about oil as everyone else, so I might as well ask.

I live in Alabama and the temps here are in the high 90s with very high humidity. I want to put the absolute best oil in there that I can. The median temps for winter here are 40.

Will 0W-40 do the trick for me or should I stick with 5W-30? (Mobile 1 in both cases)

either one should be fine. the 0w oils are good for cold climates because it helps protect the engine at start up. 40 degrees isn't that cold (about october weather here!), so if that's the coldest it gets than 5 or even a 10w oil should be fine. there's nothing wrong with using 0w40 if you want to use it though.

lsp - i recenty found mobil1 0w40 at strauss auto here. i don't know if you have those up by you, but i thought i'd let you know that they do carry that weight if you're still looking for it.

 

Mobil 10w30 full syn on first oil change still. 0 or 5w30 next time. No probs. Its less filling and tastes great!

 

Why use a different one the first time? I already bought a case of 0w40.

FYI, you can get a 5 quart jug of mobil 1 5w-30 at walmart for ~20 bucks. Can't be beat, and no multiple bottle probs, just pour and go.

 

i use mobil 1 5w-30 its what the manual says
so i do what i am told
