Oil?
My owners manual is missing so what is the recommended weight oil for the Motor and Diff?
Also if you guys have like a "golden formula" with brands and what not I'm curious as to what you guys run for engine oil, ATF, and Diff oil. Its a 4 speed auto. Thanks.

There are a few ways to find out:
1) Search this forum- there are numerous threads on this subject 2) Search for a downloadable version of the Bentley manual. This will provide you with the correct weights and approved oil grades/types for your engine. Also included is a scale of weights depending on what climate you're in. 3) Search for "Bob is the oil guy" on a search engine. Tons of information on that site. Good luck on your search.

I use 10w40 in the winter and 20w50 in the summer. The older engine(m30) does needs the thicker oils compared to the newer engines.
