which Oil I can use?
Hi,
I don't want begin an discussion which Oil can I use for an 98's 3.8L Lumina? The Price are 5W30: 12,99 and 5W40: 22,90 the number after the W tells me something about the oil if the engine is hot, but what is better 40 or 30? Or safer for my engine.

Re: which Oil I can use?
From GM 98 Lumina service info:
• For the 3800 L36 (VIN K) engine, SAE 10W-30 is the recommended viscosity. However, 5W-30 may be used if the outside air temperature is lower than 16°C (60°F). Do not use other viscosity oils, such as SAE 20W-50.
