This is what I get for dropping my Jeep off at a Dodge dealership for
a quick/cheap oil change.
Oh well, worst off I run for a while,
flush, and refill. Only $19 for a full oil flush isn't bad.
By the receipt it looks like they put 5 quarts of 5W30 in.
...er..
Should be 6 quarts of 10W30.
I gotta start paying more attention....
Oil looks nice and clean but 5W is more for < freezing expected
in the next interval. It's close to fall, but not that close to
winter. On the other hand the oil is only 10 cold with a viscosity
of 30 at operating temperature. i.e. more for easier starts in cold
weather.
I'll top off the oil with some 10W30 synthetic so that's not a biggie.
Still though, I've got a few more thousand miles of travel in 90+ weather.
From what I understand there really isn't an issue since the weight is still
30 and the engine operates at the same temperature anyway.
Thoughts?
