Also I want to go M1 synthetic and the recommended grade is 5W-20. Do they have that yet or am I ok with 0W20?
Hi,
I think that I may get flamed for this, but
what the heck?
Early break-in oil change is like 3,000 mile
oil change interval. It's no longer necessary.
CNC machined parts do not result in big chunks
of wear metal which eat away at the engine.
I don't believe others have answered your
question about viscosity. Do
not
use xW-20 oil!! It's only purpose is for
car makers to meet CAFE standards.
Mobil 1 is an excellent choice. For naturally
aspirated engines, HT/HS is not as critical, but
your V6 produces 240hp
I would suggest Mobil 1 0W-40 for that kind
of power.
