okay so that was basicaly my question, the 0w-40 for a 2.8 engine is good right? because that was what i wanted but this forum was only talking about turbos so i wasnt for sure?

You can use any oil you want whether its a turbo or naturally aspirated, but if your switching from a heavier oil to 0 it might leak through the seals because its lighter.

I'm in upstate NY (as if you couldn't tell by my screenname heheh), and I am running 5W30 with no trouble. I figured a little extra viscosity wasn't a bad thing as I'm not revving the **** off my car all the time. Mine's a 99 2.8QM, virtually the same car as yours.
