Why would you use 0w40? It says 10w30 right on the oil cap. This isn't some super advanced, direct injected engine, it's a run of the mill DOHC 4 cylinder.
P.S. - don't use synthetic either. No point. This post has been edited by screamingchicken: Sep 4, 2010 - 12:18 PM |

No point. Wrong and wrong. First 0w40 is good for older engines, creates less wear because of thicker liberation. Synthetic has been proven to last low mile motors longer and helps maintain high mileage motors. |
