Hey guys,
I'm trying to get the X ready for winter with a good tuneup. I bought a Bosch oil filter, Bosch Platnium plugs, and 5 qts. of Mobil 10W-40 oil , and Lucas Oil Stabilizer. My question is, is 10W-40 okay to run for the winter, or should I take it back and get 5W-30? I know all engines are different, and thats why I ask because I'm new to X's. I run 10W-30 in my BMW all year round. I know 5W-30 is recommended, but will there be any problem running the 10W-40? It's not synthetic. Thanks!
