You mean you're supposed to change it once in a while?

Relax freak. I drive a Toyota.

I just changed my oil, plugs and wires and filter last weekend, for the record. Brake pads, rotors, brake fluid and fuel filters are next.

10w-50w is a mixure of oil weighing 10W to 50W same with all others.


My vette requires Mobil 10-50W synthetic and each change requires 8 quarts of oil.

What's the difference between 10W-40, 10W-50 and so on. I drive a Jeep Cherokee. What kind should I be putting up in that piece?

Use whatever your owner's manual says to use.

 

[Mr. dB]

What's more important is changing your oil on a regular basis.

Define "regular". I hope you don't mean every 3000 miles, because that's a waste, a scam on the public foisted by Jiffy Lube. If the owner's manual says to change it every 5000-7500 miles, then that's regular enough.
