I run 5W30 Full Synthetic.

Depends on where you live, and what type of climate your car sees. If it is constantly hot, I would run 10w30, if its normal temps all year around just stick with 5w30, key here is w30 << 30 weight and the number in front tells you how well it circulates under cold starts. Both protect at a certain operating temperature.

Stock weight is 5W30.

I use 5W30 too but my car only has 74K. A lot of people actually run 20W50 also.

Read this then use 5-30. I use Royal Purple.

check out www.bobistheoilguy.comhttp:// and prepare to be informed and maybe addicted to the site
(i know i am)

you live in cali so i would say amsoil SS 0w30 or german castrol 0w30 maybe redline 5w30

but really any synthetic 5w30 will work fine and be easier to find

i run schaeffers synthetic blend 10w30. its 7k mile oil but i get about 10k out of it. goes in green comes out honny/dark amber. burn about .5qt's through out the 10k and a case of 12 is only about $50.

$40 for me shipping cause i used to work for one of there distrabution warehouses.

good stuff.

orly? why does my owners manual say 10w30 then?

 

[LAFENATU]

My cap says 5W30 but I also bought these in 2001. They are 94/95 cobra valve covers I got from my local ford dealer.

 

[Addermk2]

so they are non stock parts for your car, bought several years AFTER you purchased it... hrmmm...

I'd like to think that my source is a tad bit more reliable.

 

[Addermk2]

oh and it gets better... our stock oil caps...
