Get your car services elsewhere and provide them with the oil you wantI use 5/50 my engine is probably wrecked Edited 07/04/14 11:00 PM by arronm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same just supply my own to my regular mechanic but last time I didn't have time and got ford to do it and they used 5w-40 synthetic.
