Who is the OEM for engine mounts?
When I bought my car last week, it was indicating that it was a couple of weeks past due for B service. I figured it was a good excuse to have my new-to-me car gone over by a tech who knows these cars, so I scheduled a service and asked them to go over the car almost like a "pre-purchase inspection" and make note of anything that needed attention.
All in all, everything looked pretty good. The one thing they noted is that both engine mounts are completely collapsed. I've looked around and it seems like this is pretty easily doable myself, so I'm trying to source the mounts. Wondering if anyone knows who the OEM is for these. Is it Corteco? Is there a supporting vendor that folks recommend I get these through?
Thanks!
Oh also, this dealership is owned by Penske Auto Group, so they used Pennzoil synthetic instead of Mobil-1. I noticed that they use 5W30 instead of the called for 0W40. Is this ok in these engines, particularly with winter coming here in VA?

I have heard several poor reviews on the Corteco mounts. FCP Euro sells OEM mounts for the car and they have a lifetime warranty. I am about to snag a set too. The "true" OEM mounts they offer are substantially more expensive than a Corteco mount but from all I've read, they're the best route to go.
