dumb question.
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? -- DougW |
