I am about to perform my first oil change.
Right after purchase, I had my mechanic do an oil change. He used 6Qrts of Mobil 1 5w-30 conventional (I believe it has about 1000ppm of Zync??). New filter. 6Qrts was overfilled I believe by about half a quart. Also too light weight from my slightly uneducated opinion.
I am looking for recommendations for oil weight, brand and filter. I've been reading heated debates between 5-6 quarts. To save us another witty forum banter, I'll split the difference and go with 5.5.
My 302 is completely stock to my understanding...I have leaks (diagnosing right now if I need to replace the rear main seal or not).
With that being said, older motor, leaks, climate that will get down to about 30 degrees by next oil change, safe to go the following route?:
Weight: 10w-30
Type: Conventional
Brand: https://shop.valvolineglobal.com/pr...jCprGmiGQ5X85Hp4kUGK32DZ9yxVNP3WgF6gVIA3B8zof
Valvoline VR1 SAE 10w-30
