Default What type of oil for our Peppers?

Sorry to ask such a silly question, but I am heading over to the local "Walmart" to pick up some Mobile One for the Cayenne and I don't know what viscosity to get. I'm here in the office and have the owners manual at home. Lifting up the hood only tells me "Mobile One".

Anyone have their owners manual available to tell me what viscosity oil to get? I'm thinking 0w30 or something like that...

Help and thanks in advance

0W40. It may be hard to find. OW30 is not approved.

The parts department at my dealership sells the Mobil 1 0W-40 oil.

Go to the mobil1 website and click on 'Where Can I Find Mobil1 Oil':
http://www.mobil1.com/index.jsp
or
You can click on this link and locate your nearest Mobil distributor by state or zipcode (and by it by the case or 55gallon drum)
http://www.prod.exxonmobil.com/chann..._directory.jsp
or
You can also find it online (autobarn.com, mscdirect.com) , but S/H may be a problem.
or
Buy it at the dealership for $7-$8/qt

Finally found it at Autozone- needed it for the GT3- glad it's the same for both. Easier than having 10 different weights to store in the garage!

JF: the Walmarts in N. VA typically carry 0W-40 Mobil 1, so hopefully you will find it in your local store.

Actually, I think that is what I just purchased at the Walmart in Germantown, so hopefully I am good.

Thanks everyone
