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...

??? I made Motor oil for TEXACO for 3 years as an operator. The additives we added where the companies(weather it be SHELL TEXACO or Chevron) detergents or Oxygen scavengers. We sold directly to bulk buyers? So Im not sure where the information you received showed additives for improving the VI? When we ran the lab works the oil was in certain rangers If not in spec we could blend up or down depending on sales needs. But usually when the oil came off the units we hit specs and nothing was added.. Pretty much the same as gasoline. It all comes from the same tank goes to the loading facility if the sale is for SHELL we added approximately 250CC of there chemical (again SHELL Chevron or Texaco) additive to the 7400 gallons per truck load. This met there requirements to be sold in there stations.
Not trying to be hard headed or argumentative I just know this is how it was done because it was my job. Now I left the company in 2009 they very well could be adding chemicals for enhancers that I wouldn't know. I have Friends that still work there I can ask for future reference?
