Mobil 1 oil weight
Time to change the oil, so which weight to use? Same poll taken two years ago only had 4 votes with the 15w50 winning.

Mobil 1 0w-40 or 15w50.

Use 15w50, if you are within 20 degrees of the Equator, otherwise 0W-40 is fine.

0/40 is the best that Mobil have to offer and it provides the best overall protection, compared to 15/

0W-40 is the way to go. Very accesible at stores and reccomended by the manufacturer.

8.5~8.25
Jiffy Lube probably drops the oil out of the bottom. You will get 8.25 quarts out of the C32 if you drop it (don't suck it) so no worries.
