    Using 5W30 Synthetic

    I have just inherited my Dad's 07 and he has always used 5W30 syn in it instead of 5W20... Any comments on this? I read in the manual, for Mexico, they say if 5W20 isn't available, you can use 5W30.. Thanks..

    You should be fine with the 5W30. I use Shell Rotella T6 in 5W40 with no issues.
