What weight of oil do I need?

[destroyer1362]

My truck is in a storage building about 100yds away in the dark. And I'm taking a different car out to pick up the oil in the morning. Does any one remember what weight oil I need in a 5.7 Denali? so I don't have to find a flashlight.

either 5w30 or 10w30. doesnt really matter, no one will get technical and pull out something that weighs your oil. lol You go with synthetic or conventional?

Ive been using Castrol Edge fully synthetic in all my cars. they ran a hella deal last couple of months by a 10 dollar mail in rebate, so i was getting 5 quarts for 11bucks. for fully synthetic! talk about a damn good deal. but yea sorry offsubject..

its cool off topic keeps things interesting lol. but yeah I'm going with mobile 1 full synthetic because I get a good deal on it at work. 6 qts for $30 something

doesnt sound like a discount to me.. Walmart sells mobil1 for 22bucks for 5 quartjug, im sure a single quart isnt over 8 bucks..

I knew everyone would chime in after I bought the stuff, 10w-30, looks like I'm going back tomorrow

its not going to matter that much.. you wont be able to tell the difference.
