Yes I know another oil change thread but this one has a twist.
I took my car for it's first 500 mile oil change and expect the normal routine to change the oil. I validate the correct filter and they cart out Penzoil 5W-40 Platinum series synthetic oil. I take a double take at the box and state this is not Mobil 1 0W-40. After going back into the parts section of the dealership I speak with the parts counterfolks and they show me a document from dealerconnect the states the following:
Effective date : 04/01/09
Model year Out: 2008
Supersedence Narrative:
Q horse power 5W-40 & Penzoil Platinum
5W-40 is the recommended replacement
for Mobil 1 0W-40 European Formula
Dealers should order 05127394AB
So I went with the Penzoil and it took exactly 11 quarts.
Any thoughts?
