Default change of oil

Was wondering if I should consider a different weight of oil in my 2002 v6, it's got 243,000 miles now and I've been using 10w30 now for quite some time. Just curious if anyone could help. Thanks

How do you feel about r rear end differential oil. Mines due for a Chang but not sure if I should gradually change it out or just drain it and add new right away.

Diffs, all at once should be fine. If it's LS, don't forget the friction modifier (Motorcraft is apparently the best brand to use for that).

Also something you hear a lot about. I do transmission fluid one pan at a time, personally. Pull the stick and see what kind of condition it's in, and you could always send a sample off to Blackstone Labs to see if it even needs to be replaced.

That's the best advice I've heard yet, one pan at a time makes alot of sense. Thanks again

If you have a manual you don't have a pan. So don't go lookin for it
