Question about engine oil
I have a 2005 Outlander XLS living in Canada and need an oil change, I am getting different recommendations on what to use from 5w 30 to 10w 30 and more recent 5w 20.
Where do I find out what is correct?

RE: Question about engine oil
Use what's listedon the oil cap and in the manual.
If you don'thave an oil cap or a manual I'd say5w20but 5w30 isn't much thicker and is prefectly fine...
10w30 is kind of thick for northern climates..but it wouldn't do any damage..just hurt your fuel economy a bit
