Default OIL CHANGE

What is the correct weight oil for an oil change on a 96?

5W40? :confused:

GM says Mobil 1, 5w30. Should be an emblem under your hood with that on it.

There should be a emblem under the hood stating "Mobil1 5w-30". The manual will tell you 5w-30 or 10w-30 depending on the climate where you live. I live in the south where we have relatively mild winters so I use 10w-30.

I'd run 5w-30 in the area you live... I'm from Albany and I know it's already cold up there. Here in FL mine gets 10w-30.
