u should deffinately use mobile 1 however the viscocity would depend on the climate that the vehicle is in. a b service under warrenty for that year and that vehicle included a oil and filter change, dust filter replacement, wiper insert replacement, wheel rotation if wheels are not staggered. battery fluid check along with midtronics test on the battery, verify all lights work, lubrication of all hinges including hood latches. and a very thorough inspection for leaks and any wearable items such as brakes, bushings, ball joints, or any broken components. all of the control modules are scanned for codes to see if any electrical components are faulty, not all will set a warning in the instrument cluster. at the end of the service the light is reset. which is done by sitting in the vehicle with the door closed. turn the key to position 2 ( if the service indicator pops up automatically press the r button on the instrument cluster once to return to the mileage screen) then scroll to the service screen in the instrument cluster when u get to it press and hold the r button. it will ask if u want to confirm resetting the service interval. release the r button and press once. u will see the service change to an a service. but some dealerships offer there own version of the service. as long as it is along the lines of the warrenty sheet its good. my dealership includes a wheel balance with the rotation.
