Oil change

What type of oil(Mobil 1 S) is only to be used, but what weight are they using when you get your oil changed? I know two choices 5-30 and 10-30. Which oil do you prefer or does anybody care? I've always had 5-30 and now the dealer put 10-30, I'm a little pissed :mad: or does anyone think I'm being petty?

10W30 is fine. It doesn't resist cooler temps as well. I'm sure you'll change it again before winter but even then, the 10W30 is fine.

I use 5W30 Mobile one.

Thanks, I just am leary taking my car into the dealer. One would assume (we know what happens when we a**-u-me). I'm aware that only M1S is to be used, but are they?- since the oil change my oil temp is hovering around 235 when I decide to play around. Even though previous changes have been fine, this service visit made me a bit nervous. Anyway, I will return to that dealership.
