Engine Oil
Anyone know what kind of oil is put into a 2014 Coachmen Mirada. I do not know if it is regular oil or synthetic. Does it matter if I switch it to regular oil. Is there a place in the coach that say...

The 5w-20 recommendation must be a carry over from the cars where it is used to maximize the EPA mpg test. I would never use it in an engine that works as hard as a gas engine in a MH. At a minimum, I would recommend a synthetic 5w-30. I use Mobil 1 5w-40 oil in my V10.
The advantages of a good synthetic include not shearing down (a 5w-30 oil becoming a 5w-20 oil) with usage; the ability to handle the higher operating temps common in a MH without breaking down and coking the engine; and the ability to not have to change oil in the middle of a long trip.
