The guy from the garage in Lubbock just text me and said they used 15W 40. This is the guy who is supposed to know. I will check with the owner but I am sure he told me he used a single weight because he cautioned me on that as I recall. Now I have been doing some web surfing and frankly it confuses me more I think. I see people out there saying they have used multi weight and had no problems. In fact i should go back and look becasue i swear one person answering this was a Newell person who acknowledged this was not what Detroit recommended, but that they had thousands of hours experience and not issues.
So if the previous owner did what he was supposed tom and just these guys in Lubbock screwed it up for the 1,000 miles I drove home do you think that could have been enough? The shop here swapped it out right away and these are the guys preaching single weight so i know they used the correct oil.
