seriously this topic is probly in the first two pages. defintely go with synthetic oil. 10w40 or 10w30 is good. if its really cold where you live go with a 5w30

Amsoil, mobil1, valvoline. Save a few dollars and change it yourself.

Do it your self, those guys will take your 4 quarts of mobile 1 0w40, throw them on the shelf, and fill your car with the cheap shiznit.

Don't trust them unless you are standing there watching them put the oil in.

The two WalMarts I go to are honest. What they put on the work order is what you get.

having worked for a few franchise garages in my time I filled the oil from one container ( I named it magic high price all in one oil for all cars ) it might be different now????? but who knows, Mobil 1 0W 40 - 30 is the best for the turbo engine
