What Oil weight SHOULD you be using

I personally don't know much about this topic but I found this aticle which seems to be highly reguarded in other forums.

http://63.240.161.99/motoroil/101.html

It looks like a very good atricle and basically says that you should probably be using a thinner oil and if the manufacturer calls for 5 or 10W30 then you should probably be using 0W30.

I found this to be interesting and hopefully everyone else here will too.

If you want the kind of knowledge about oil related questions that you get here about detailing......then you need to go to www.bobistheoilguy.com and find out more than you ever thought possible to consider about oil.

I would always excercise caution if your car is still under warranty.
