Someone told me to use 20W-50 in it and another person suggested 0W-20. This is going to drive me nuts to keep on having to put a qaurt in every 700 miles. Is there someone who knows what weight I should try?


thanks in advance


--anyone have the first clue? Also, another weight.... 5-20?
Check out oil sludge apparently this is a problem. There may be a recall
