Anybody ever hear of the WolfsHead oil? It's synthetic and apparently 505 and all that jazz. I just got the car back from the shop after going through the engine. The car lost it's first turbo at 190k, the side to side shaft play was bad, it was smoking at idle. It probably would have had a spectacular ending after another 500 miles or so. I decided to replace the turbo and clean the intake manifold. After seeing inside the intake, I decided it was time to pull the head and have it cleaned. Since the head was off, I had a fully rebuilt. I decided to leave the bottom end alone due to 495, 490, 490, 495 compression. Anyways, long story short, I went to pick up the car and noticed they were putting 5-30 oil in it. The manager (a good friend of mine) thought they were putting 5-40 in it, but he seems to think the 5-30 would be fine anyway.
I'm not exactly satisfied with the prospect... I'm vary particular about oil, I'll only use the 5-40 Rotella stuff, or TDT depending on price. I just wanted to pick your brains... is the situation dire? Should I change it asap or is it alright for a few days? Damn Wal-Mart was out of stock and I'm not paying $28/gallon at Autozone.
