Default What kind of motor oil are you guys running???
Guys, I'm gonna be changing over to synthetic soon and I was just wondering which brand and grade of oil you guys would recommend. I was planning on going with Mobile1 oil. The owner's manual says 10w-30, but would you guys suggest running a lighter grade like 5w-30 or even 0w-30??? Any help would me appreciated. Thanks.
