Pretty sure he works in surgery.

 

haha OMG doose is having surgery....[8D]

I use 15w-50 and believe me at 200 degrees it gets thin enough not too mention the spikes of 250-275 when Im running hard

Also some people use thicker oil in older engines because it give you more oil pressure.. which is good if your into that sort of thing

 

I changed my own oil and it is pretty easy. I recommend getting a quick change valve from www.fumotovalve.com to make the job mess free.
The filter is a bit bugger to get at, but I find that taking it from the top rather from the bottom of the car is a lot better.
I used Mobil 1 5W30 all year round, this way I am not worried about climate issue especially here in Canada where temperature in the winter can hit -30 in some days.
Hope this helps.

 

Surgery? Gosh, so many joke opportunities with that one......will we be calling you doosa when you get out?

 

yo! just replaced the oil in my car as well. I use Royal Purple 5w30. (2000 1.8T) Car seems to like it so far! :-) Pretty expensive stuff (12 quarts cost a little over $60), but from what I've read (and seen in my car so far), it seems to be worth it!

 

60 bucks, youch! That's a lot of dough for an oil change. I'll stick with my M1
