The owner's manual and FSM for the 2001 both call for 5W30. It's a good winter weight because it provides better start-up circulation, before the oil gets warm enough to thin out. If you want to run dinosaur juice, that's what you should run.

Mobil-1 is full synthetic. You asked about dino oil, which means conventional petroleum based. If you want synthetic, Castrol offers Syntec in a 5W50 weight. That's what I run and I'm very happy with it. Up north where you are you could run 5W30 for winter and 5W50 in the summer.DaveD912 said:
If you want conventional dino oil, stay with Castrol GTX and use 5W30 all year. That's what the factory calls for in your vehicle.
I'm sticking to dino for now. I need to do some more research before going to a synthetic.
