Got my oil changed at a place I normally go to. Was sitting in the car watching the guy change the oil and saw that he was putting the wrong grade oil in the engine. DUH!
I was getting Mobil 1 synthetic put in, but he started putting 5W-30 in the crankcase instead of the 5W-20. I know, not a huge difference, but I stopped him by the time he had the 3rd quart in the crankcase and told him to drain it and redo it with 5W-20 as recommended.
He did drain it and refilled it, but come on...the cap says 5W-20 right on it! He said that he looked at his computer info and went with that. Sounds like they have some incorrect info and told him so. He was apologetic and such, but I'll have to keep an eye on them next time.
