I did my first service on my MSP, I brought it to dealership, and they didn't put in synthetic oil, they put some oil that was 530w, or something like that. I'm just curious if they screwed up or not? or does the MSP not take synthetic??? I thought all turbo's took synthetic, and i was curious what effects I will get if non-synthetic oil was put in.

Thanx

The dealer probably just used a normal 5W-30 oil. Synthetic is more expensive and you have to ask for it at the dealer. Turbo cars don't NEED synthetic, but it's always a good idea.

So you have to ask the dealership for IT!?!?...... I thought it is mandatory for the dealership to put synthetic oil in the MSP.......... So I don't even have an argument against them for putting in non-synthetic oil???

LOL.... it depends on the dealership. Some dealerships care more than others. Like my dealership, will only put premium fuel in the 6, and RX8 when you first buy them, all the rest get 87 octane. Its all about the bottom line. I'd start changin my own oil if you were worried about it.

I say just bring your own oil, no matter where you go....dealership, quickiemart, whatever. It's cheaper and you know your getting good oil.

I say just CHANGE your own oil...WAY cheaper and you know its done right. Even a monkey could do their own oil changes

Rawyzf

True...but not all Monkey's have a place to put the old oil

macdaddyslomo

don't know how to get rid of old oil...here's a trick i've been using for years...when you buy laundry detergent, get the bigger liquid ones...once its empty you can rip out the little plastic spigot part and it leaves a big hole to pour old oil back into...then take it and throw it into the barrels they have outside at Advance Auto or Discount Auto Parts or Autozone

Rawyzf

good idea

Or just let the oil seep into the ground...it magically disappears

Macdaddyslomo, my first oil change is free, so plz don't be calling me a monkey, thank you.

Rawyzf, that is a good suggestion, I will bring my own oil next time I go to the dealership for servicing, thanx for the advice.

haha I wasn't serious, I have my oil container just like everybody else. It's actually rather full right now.
