Who would you believe? The manufacturer whos spent millions of dollars designing the car and puts that info in the owners manual.
Or a high school dropout making $6 hour who works at Auto Zone............md
mike. try www.castrol.com. should get all info you need.hope this helps.
your safe/dont use anything thats too high/40 for instance/you need lubrication and 5-30 does it fine
if you are using oil you might try the 10-30 (it's the alternate oil for your car anyway), but if not you should 'dance with the one who brung you' as in stay with the manufacturers recommendation.
Your owners manual to the car should tell you the recommended oil to use. I would trust the manual more then someone at the E-Z Lube
never put in 10w-40, that's an old oil grade that hasn't been spec'd for trucks since the mid-90's.
a long time back convention wisdom was 10w-30 in the winter, 10w-40 in the summer. that's a thing of the past. just run 5w-30 like the manufacturer spec'd.
I think its funny as hell that so many people disregard what a manufacturer says is proper for their vehicles. I mean come on, everyone has a degree in mechanical engineering ...right? everyone understands stress vs strain vs sheer....right?
