I'm not sure which to use. Mobil 1 0w40 or 5w40. I live in California, the temperature is aroun 50F-80F degrees. I'm not knowledgeable about oil weight.

Thanks

 

my shop uses 0 40 in my car.


but I would have others weigh in too.

 

also, I am in so cal.

 

Same as above, I'm in socal too

 

Go 5-40 W, 0 is just to thin for our climate in CA IMO.

 

How many quarts?

 

9 if you drain it all, and leave your yourself time and get it level for it all to come out.

But add the last 1/2 quart over time, take time to read your stick as well and check your display and see where you at, it varies.

However I would use and trust the stick as my final reading for accurate indicator.

Last, don't overfill.

 

I use 5W40 in central FL.

 

There are many discussions about this on various boards. My mechanic, who races Porsches, recommends Motul 5w40, and that's good enough for me.

 

5w40 Syntec

 

Pentosin 5W40.

 

Valvoline synpower 5W40, $4.99 a qt,at NAPA, and sign up for Valvoline 300.000 mile engine guarantee for free, go online for their details, mine is going to last forever.

 

Interesting. Can you give us details on this?

If this is really your very first time changing oil in your "P" car, I feel I must mention the little issue of the size of your drain pan...

The pan must be able to capture about 8 liters of oil within 2 seconds because that's how long it takes to empty the whole thing and if you are using "standard" oil draining hardware, you will become a member of the "Valdez" club. This is not a joke!
