V6 Driver's manual recommends 5w20 or 5w30. So go with the 5w30.

thanks....just outa curiosity. whats the dif?

Mr. Zip 02-28-2008 04:35 PM

10w30 probably wouldn't be good for your engine. It's a more lubricating viscosity, made for bigger straight sixes, but usually it's put in v8s.

my dad just put 5w30 into his camero ss. its bone stock so he said it would b over doin it if i did it in my 6. he said go wiht the 10w30. should i do the 10w30 or the 5w30 or 5w20
