Default Re: what oil does the dealer use?

I make my dealer use the synthetic stuff they put in the Porches...I think it's Mobile 1. I also make 'em change the oil every 4k miles but then again I have a very special situation with my dealer. They would put a PES blower on my Avant and still service it. They're absolutely great.

Default It varies.

By dealer. Standard service is always dino oil. Mine keeps vats of 10w40 castrol GTX. Same oil goes in everyting, year 'round. They do advise the 5W oil however for the newest cars, and think synthetic, particularly Mobil 1, is great *after 10k miles*.

If you bring it, they'll put anything in, so long as it meets warranty specs (SJ).
