[quote=keithet;........As far as I can tell ALL TCH vehicles are factory filled with 0W20 oil. Mine apparently was since I have obtained three changes with 0W20 oil at no charge and have one more to go before I start paying through the nose! If someone will tell me how to attach this bulletin, I will be happy to do so and help cause more confusion at Canadian dealerships since Bel Aire was unaware until I gave them a copy and the Service Manager appeared "Hot Under The Collar" when it was handed to him![/quote]

Thanks for the update, that's very interesting. I am still confused as to whether 0W20 oil is necessarily 'synthetic'.
Here's my story, when I went for my first oil change here in Toronto I requested 0W20 oil and was told they did not have it and always used 5W20 for TCH vehicles. When I asked how long it would take to get 0W20 oil, the service technician checked with the parts manager who said he did have 0W20 and produced a large unopened drum of it with a Nipon made in Japan label on it. The service tech., was agreeably surprised and said he would use it for all future TCH oil changes. I do not have extended warranty but was only charged the regular $34.95 for the oil change which included all the checking they do plus a free car wash. I came away happy!
