Why would you not tell him to use 5W-30 like the factory specifies (At least it does for my 06 S/C) ?
As far as the level, have you checked the dipstick?

This is 2 quarts over the recommended 7, so immediately drain out the two quarts. Easy to do. By the way, the 5w-30 is fully synthetic, correct?MIAMIRRS said:Why would you not tell him to use 5W-30 like the factory specifies (At least it does for my 06 S/C) ?

Maybe the mechanic put in 7 but charged him for 9? Checking the dipstick would be the smart thing to do.Ukraine Range said:This is 2 quarts over the recommended 7, so immediately drain out the two quarts. Easy to do.

Thats what Mobil1.com recommend for our RRSS, 0W40 :?:MIAMIRRS said:Why would you not tell him to use 5W-30 like the factory specifies (At least it does for my 06 S/C) ?

The US-spec manual clearly states that to avoid voiding your warranty, you should stick to 5W-30. I would hate for something to go wrong (not necessarily because of the oil) and they use your non-factory spec oil as a defense to deny you warranty coverage...chanhaang said:Thats what Mobil1.com recommend for our RRSS, 0W40 :?:MIAMIRRS said:Why would you not tell him to use 5W-30 like the factory specifies (At least it does for my 06 S/C) ?

I'm more worried about the 9 quarts. My manual says 7.7 litres.
Your are fine - MobilONE 0w40 should be fine, but you may want to try 0w30 on your next change. You are putting a better oil than the the Castrol Syntec in my opinion.
While under warranty I bought the oil and had the dealer put it in for me - no issues with warranty
Also 9 quarts should be ok Capacity is 8.5.

Full synthetic? My dealer says 7500 miles between changes I hope so. Only down 1/2 qt after 6700 miles I'm pretty happy with that! My Jeep SRT8 went through a quart every 1,000 miles wtf.Frisco_TX_RRS said:Your are fine - MobilONE 0w40 should be fine, but you may want to try 0w30 on your next change.
