I also plan on using Mobile 1 synthetic and Im not real sure if it would be better to buy the 5W30 or 10W30, The oil cap says 5W so I assume that would be best. But being in hawaii im not worried about the oil being too thick when its cold because it just doesnt get real cold. I have searched the arcives but never found anything real definitive.
I believe in the haynes manual it said to replace the seal on the drain plug, is this something that needs to be done? And where would i get one.
Thanks For the help. This might be beaten to death already but hopefully we'll get some good info for future searches.

I use Mobil1 10w30 in the summer months and 5w30 in the winter months. Either one would be ok. If I lived in Hawaii I think I would stick with 10w30 though.
