I did a search, and really found nothing I was looking for.

My check oil level light was on, and it was a tad low.

I did not want to mix different oils as I could not be certain what oil was in there. So I decided to get an oil change done.

Noone had 0w-40 in stock,
So I popped open the manual and there is a chart saying as long as it doesn't go below -20 degree by my next oil change I can use 10W-30.

So I bought two cases of 10w-30.

Finding a filter was a pita. Didn't want to use the generic. So I ended up going to the dealer. Got the filter and asked if they had 0w-40 .Don't have individual cases/quarts. It's in drums.

They said make sure you use 0w-40 the parts people said. I said the factory approved service products manual states that it is okay for 10w-30. They replied i'd check with serivice. I have never heard of that.

So I did, the service writer was with a technician, and he said 0w-40 or 10w-30 is fine.

However, I changed it yesterday with 10w-30 and I'm paranoid maybe he was just blowing me off.

Any input would be much appreciated.
