Default Mobil 1 Synthetic

Mobil 1 seems to be the consensus around here. I use 0W30. Some use 0W40.

Default People say 5w30

which is an ACEA A1 oil, but the manual specifies for an ACEA A2 spec oil.. Im currently feeding my car 5w30 (yeah so according to the manual, Im wrong) and will make the change to 5w40 or whatever when the car goes in for service which should be very soon since Im at 10,600miles.. Im just have to setup an appointment at the dealership (not sure which one though) Oh, I changed the oil back at 6000miles with 5w30..

Default leadweight dude....5w40 is for garden tractors...

stay with a good 30 weight....40 weights often contain undesirable thickeners....
