for the first 4 intervals I had it in for warrant work. I asked the sevice write a couple of times what oil they were using since it didn't stat it on the invoice.
The answer was always vague other than 5w30.
One day I had a test drive with a tech so I asked him. They were using bulk Dino oil.
No more oil changes at the dealer
