Hey guys,.....i live in NJ and the summer has been pretty hot ('round 90s) and i can expect the winter to be pretty cold (probably snow a few times and less than 40s) so anywho it's about that time to change my oil right now and i need to know which i should go with. I'm runnin 5W-30 simply because the sticker on the engine compartment said to. The car runs perfect, good starts, everything fine 141K on the odo but you'd never know. However, i've heard that this shortens the life of the engine somewhere and to use 10W-30 which i would have normally used. Can someone give me a good explanation on what to use and why?
p.s. purolator or motorcraft is the only way for me to go as far as filters, don't trust anyone else
