the diff. in oil viscosity at temperature is huge, and they must have made the change for a reason. You do NOT want to risk damage do you?

I forgot to specify this (doh!), and from the looks of the paperwork, the older weight specified on the "checklist" was used. I got 'em to throw in a coupon book for "extra" oil changes with the car (supplemental changes between service intervals), so I'll get it swapped at about 5000-6000 miles.

How important is it to get the new weight? 10w-60 is an odd weight anyway, do we know WHY the change took place?
