I'm going in Sat for an ordinary oil change anyway, but this is about the time I was thinking of changing anyway. I'd like to know people's opinions on my situation.
I've got a 2005 Chevy/Daewoo Aveo w/ 11k on it; about equal city/hwy miles. I've been running Chevron/Havolene 5W30 dino in it since the factory fill. OCI I would estimate as every 3k or less and I change out the K&N HP1001 filter every time.
I had planned to switch to M1 5W30, since the break-in is over, but visiting BITOG on the subject has me wondering. I would probably keep the OVIs I've been going with anyway, so some say don't bother going synthetic others caution about leaks when switching. I live in southern NY so I'm on the fence when it comes to the winter starts. And I've also heard that when going to M1 I should go to 0W30.
Kinda confused here...
