or whatever it's called... what grade/brand/type of oil are the online pro's using, since my local Walmart appearently doesn't carry the original Fiat brand?
Read somewhere that synthetics are a waste if it burns/leaks fuel... no?
50w30? 10W30? 5W30? WD40?
Thanks!

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Re: FiatOlio
if you do a search, you will find multiple pages concerning oil and additives. But if your engine leaks and uses oil, I'd use something fairly heavy, and cheap

I gave up on the WD40. It takes too long to spray 5 qts down the dipstick tube

Re: FiatOlio
thx for the info.
Matt, really enjoyed Hawaii last time, but do you think the cost of the flight will be offset by the price of the oil (kidding!)
