My owner's manual recommends a SG grade oil, and a viscosity of 10W-30, 10W-40, or 10W-50(???) if normal temperatures are above -10F.
This seems like a very odd recommendation to me, considering this is a fairly new vehicle with new design all aluminum V6 engine. Most companies are recommending the latest API grade, and 5W30 or 5W20 year round.
I have owned since new, I now have 66k miles on it. I have been using dino Havoline or SuperTech oil, SM rated since it has been out, 5W30 in the winter and 10W30 in summer. I change oil and filter every 3000 miles. I will probably follow the 3k mile OCI until my 12year/120,000 mile warranty is up.
Anyone have any comments?
