Default RE: oil

maybe the thicker oil is to account for the warmer weather... im not sure if this make sense but when its colder i assume that oil maintains a thicker form.... and in cali its usually warm , coldest ive ever driven in was probably 48 degrees... so i figure since its usually warm , it will make the oil less thick, and putting a 30 instead of a 20 will maybe account for the thickness that the weather plays a roll in ? lol i dont know if that makes sense... i had a hard time putting it into words... but still, my manual says 5w30.

Check the oil filler cap on your calve cover. On my 03 GT it is printed 5w-20 right on it.
