Confused: 2.4L eng oil filler caps states use 5-20W or 0-20W. Manual states use 5-30W. Manual also states fill with 4.5 Qts w/filter change, when filled with 4.3125 Qts, dip stick indicates an overfilled condition by approx..5 Qt. Indication after running engine for 3 min. Called Pontiac, they stated use what is in manual, dealer called they said use 5-20W. Called Toyota (engine is a toyota 2.4L VVTI, they state
