You can use 5w30 but it will effect the mileage as it is a thicker oil. If they sell the car over there I'm sure a dealer has the oil for it though. No local autoparts stores has that weight oil?

We dont have a dealer for Mustang in Croatia, i have exported the car from USA.

And 5W20 its hard to find in Europe. I will take 5W30 Mobil 1. Or i can take 0W30??? Is that better???

Thanks

A lot of Jap cars use 5W20 so I'm sure you can it if you try hard enough. If not, 5W30 is good but there's also always the internet...

Now, only if my parents taught me Croatian... But where you from there? Croatia is a great place for a Mustang and I wish I can bring mine over just to drive on the Coastal Route, just to have fun on the twist and turns w/ the best scenery in the world.

5W30 is fine and the mileage difference between 5W20 & 5W30 is minimal , if the air temps get below freezing in your area durring winter, you can use the 0W30 too wth no issues.....

Nice, my dad's side of the family is from Rijeka and his mother's side of the family is from Opatija. I have to say, Opatija is probably one of my favorite places there.

If only. My parents tried but it's hard to learn when they either teach you as if you are 1 year old learning to talk or by just going cold turkey. Over the summer, I did try to teach myself but the books available are made for travelers, not for those who want to learn the language completely. Just hope I learn it by the time I go again.
