I need to know what type of oil for hot weather to be used in my 2.0.
It rarley gets below frezzing here in the winter and in the summers it can be over 100F on some days (Sacremento Cali for ya)

So what type do I use?
such as 10w30, 10w40 ect?

I used 10W30 most of the time that I was in the Bay Area, worked fine, including the tahoe trips every other weekend.. Going to switch back to 5W30 tomorrow to see if I notice a difference or not.

I used 10W30, for my last few changes (pennzoil usually). This time i went with 5W30 Mobil1 syn. I like it much better, seems to make the engine fun a little smoother, also this past week, i've put almost 700 miles on the car in stop and go traffic for a 2-day concert in +95F weather without any problems. I'll be using the mobil1 from now on.
