Wow, completely noob post here, but I can't get to my book now and I couldn't find it by searching...

What is the appropriate weight of oil in the 2.5?

Thanks

NVM, got it.

For anyone else who needs the information, it takes 4 7/8 quarts (approx 5) of 5w-30.

Actually depends on your climate. If you live in Alaska, you'd better use something like 0w-30 or 0w-20. If you live in southern Florida or Texas, you'll probably want 10w-30 or even straight 30.

5w-30 is a good all-purpose oil, though.
