Do you have any way of telling what's in it now? For instance, if it's got synthetic in it, I would try to stay with that.

If you have not been running synthetic then stick to what you have been running. I Have seen and heard too many guys switch to synthetic and all of a sudden their cars start showing leaks that wern't there before. Stick to the 10W30 since that's whats in it.
