Default 1st Service for a '00........dino?...Mobil 1?...0w-30w?...etc?...(m)

Seen a lot of posts during the last six months, or so, on this topic. Just wanted to get a few current opinions on the best way to go. Main questions:

- Did we ever determine whether the factory fill is syn. or dino?

- Assume that even with a '00 I should go with 0w-30w (assuming syn.)

- Should I wait until 12k - 15k to go synthetic?

- If syn.--anything better than Mobil 1?

Thanks for input.

That's part of the stupidity related to this topic. Each dealer can and does put in whatever oil they want to. Mine = Castrol GTX 10w-40.

Where is AoA on this topic?

'01 Black/Onyx 6-sp, RE040s

2000 said 5w40 preferred, 2001 say 0w30 preferred, sounds like Mobil ONE!
