Factory fill is Mobil 1 0W-40 and that is what most dealers will use when servicing car. Good stuff.

Mobil 1 15W-50 is also great for summer driving where you are but it will hurt your MPG just a tad.

Also, Shell Rotella Fully Synthetic 5W-40 is superb also and much cheaper than M1. Wally World sells this for under $3.50 per quart.

Good luck!
