I seem to have developed a small oil leak somewhere around the front of the engine. EEK! I made an appointment with the dealer for Friday AM (100k warranty) and I was wondering if there was any other issues or gotchas I should know about.. I am not sure even what is leaking. I also have developed a vibration above 3k that seems to come from the front on acceleration. My theory is I have a bit of oil on my serpantine belt and the vibe is it slipping, but that's only a guess... Any ideas?
Last question - is there any practical difference between 10w40 and 15w50 in terms of temperature rating? I have an ongoing discussion with a buddy of mine that you should use the thinnest oil you can get and just chance it more often (he is running 0w30 in his jeep..and did all summer..)
Personally, I have just stuck with 15w50 mobil 1 year round so far..
Oh yeah, 99 CC, SLT, 5.2, 67k miles, auto, 4x4, mobil1 15w50 and mobil1 filter, K&N fact repl. filter, LSD, no engine mods.....
