The vehicle was acquired in Dec of 2010 and is in need of an engine & tranny oil change. ( engine oil was changed by corner car lot at time of purchase and was the cheapest grade they had... and tranny oil was changed ? ).
I understand I can use the same oil of both...
What is the best ( safest ) weight/viscosity oil to use for these two with ecomodding in mind ?
Not sure if brand really matters as long as it's fully synthetic...
Read on the forum about 0W10 & 20, but not quite sure and wanted to run it by you folks who have been doing this much longer than I with solid results.
Looking forward to the responses so I can get this done asap !
Thanks Guys !
