65, oil....what is...

factory fill on these things? I know it's Mobil 1, but unsure what viscosity. Looks like I'm about to need to add a quart. BTW, are you guys in TX, AZ, etc. using something other than the OE viscosity? These things generate so much heat, and it has been 100 degrees here nearly every day for 3 weeks. Thoughts?
Thanks for the help.

I think the 65's get 9.0Q of Mobil-1 0/40 European Fomula

Looking back....

it looks like 5-40, wonder if that's facotry fill, or South FL heat fill....

I don't think 5/40 is factory fill, man. I could be wrong, but I'm like really, really smart.
