tdappleman, I think this thread has kind of gotten out of control. I have a 2001 V10 6.0L Gas that I just gout a couple of months ago. The oi was changed right before I got it. I have record of that from the dealership. The previous guy always went to the dealership.
What is a good weight and type? I have 108000 miles on mine now. I will do all my oil changes myself and don't really care the cost of oil and filters because I want to keep this EX for a long time so I want to be sure it is well lubricated.
Also, depending on what the dealership might of used and what you recommend, is it ok to switch if it is a harsh change, (like standard to synthetic).

Yes V10 6.8L. I know tdapplemans post was informative. It was all the posts before that where it seemed the thread was getting off track.
So we are leaving on vacation tomorrow and I checked the EX's oil yesterday and I am a quart low so I guess I am going to do a full oil change since I don't know what was used.
I just don't know whether to use sythetic or standard. I have always ran standard so I might stick to that.
