What do you think?
P.S. I'm in Los Angeles, so the temperature never falls below 50 F, but can get past 100 F in the summer. |
I live in San Diego and use Mobil One 15-50. Good stuff. If you car has tons of miles or you suspect that it is internally a bit dirty, you can simply run the new syn for a 1000 and then do another oil change with fresh syn.
If not, just change it and go. I change every 5K with Mobil 1, as it is such a great oil.
Don't forget Mobil 1 ATF in your trans. and Mobil 1 diff fluid (75-90).
Good luck
