I am a Amsoil convert from years of using it in heavy equipment.

I'm using Mobil1 5w30 as well. Anyone know if it is wise to use a thinner oil in this engine? |

BTW, I prefer higher quality filters such as Wix over OEM. |

Well, although I live in Canada, I'm in the small sliver of the country that doesn't get super cold in winter. (Think Seattle) 0W-20 would probably be too thin unless you live up North or switch to it just for winter. On Echodrivers, somebody said you can use a Celica filter because it fits, but is slightly bigger. |
