Oil viscosity
Hi everyone, I wrote yesterday in reference to oil changes and what weight to use. I know that I need more oil because I watched the mech's change the oil at the dealership and they only put in six quarts. I live in a small town in Florida and we are usually the last to get everything. I need to put in a little more oil. I know they sell Mobile1 but I'm not sure if they carry 0-40. Is there some other weight oil I could add to the six quarts that are already in, so I have the proper amount? I would at least like to put in one more quart if I can't find the 0-40. Thanks for any information, Bob

Re: Oil viscosity
First check your oil using the dipstick to see if the oil level is indeed low. If it is, contact the dealer for the additional 2.5 quart's I'm sure you paid for it. However, you could add Mobile1 5-20 or 5-30 without any ill effects until the next change.

Re: Oil viscosity
i would suggest you find the right oil. search the forum for everyone's reasons and etc, but short answer is use the oil that the engine was designed to use --
