what type of oil is recommended for the sc430? thank

 

5w-30, either conventional or synthetic. I use mobil 1 5w-30.

 

how much oil is required for oil change?

 

5.5 quarts when changing the filter.

 

are you sure its only 5.5q? my bmw 745 took 8 .

 

my MB slk took 8 quarts (V6)and the LC uses 7.5 but the specifications on the SC says 5.5 and I just changed it last week. 5.5 filled it up.

 

Just use 5w30 as stated on the engine oil cap.

I bought Toyota oil fromt he dealer & they state 7 quart.............but my mechanic said 6 quart......now 5.5??? I put 6 quart, not sure if it will flood the engine...

 

Manual states required amout of oil. 5W30. I use Synthetic.

 

I use synthetic and +1 to mandyfig and others. The manual states the amount of oil which is 5.5 qts. Can't go wrong if it says it right in the manual...

 

I believe it is 5.5 quarts with the oil filter change. I use Pennzoil Platinum or Castrol Edge.

 

I always supply the shop 6 quarts of 5W30, usually Mobil 1. I sometimes get a little back so 5.5 quarts sounds right.

 

i would be going with mobile 1 5w 30. alright so ill go with 5.5 quarts. thanks guys

 

I use to work at lexus. Its 5.5 with filter

 

I think the best synthetic is Amsoil either 5-20 or 0-20.

The service place I take my 430 to says a blend is sufficient for my car .. I was under the impression that a full synthetic was necessary? Thoughts, please. Thanks.
