Oil weight Change

Oil weight Change. As your car gets high in miles (80,000 and up). Should you change your weight?

RE: Oil weight Change

I have a question related to oil weight. In my 3400 engine manual it says to use 10W-30 in temperatures above 0 degrees. But when I open the hood the dipstick says 5W-30? Which is the correct one?

I don't know. I've heard it pop up, from time to time.
