Default Anyone know what weight oil is in the car as shipped from the factory? I...

Just switched to Mobil 1 5W30, and I'm noticing a very slight increase (consistent) in oil temperature. Nothing alarming, I'm just curious. What will the dealership usually replace your oil with when you bring it in for service?

TIA.

Default Mobil 1 synthetic oil protects to upwards of 600 degrees F, so slight increase is nothing to worry..

about. if your oil gets even somewhat close to that, there's something else seriously wrong!!!
