Default Re: Dealer using different oil in oil change

I run Mobil1 0W-40 in my roadster, which has the extended warranty, because the dealer said I had to. Do I believe him -- not really -- but it's not worth arguing and he lets me bring my own oil, which cuts the price to $25. I use 5 quarts Mobil1 0W-30 and the rest 0W-40 in my other Crossfires (I can get the 5 qts for $22 from Walmart, and a local indie does my oil changes.) All cars are low mileage, not raced, and I change the oil annually.
