Okay, I'm wondering about changing the oil. I usually use the quick oil change places, like Mr.Hotshine.

http://www.mistercarwash.com/Locatio...true&Region=El Paso, TX

I think they use 10W-30 oil. So I'm reading the owners manual, and it says to ONLY use 5W-30, and to NOT use 10W-30, 10W-40, etc, blah, blah, blah.

It also says to only use Dexos 1 certified oil.

Is this a bunch of BS? It also says failure to use the proper oil can void the warranty. So I can't get my oil changed at Mister Hotshine?:( What is this?

Should I take my car back to Viva, and demand a refund over this?
