I don't know that it's that easy to just let the facility "off the hook" - I've no "first hand" but I'd think there's little argument for the change from 10/30 product to the 5/30 product for a car that isn't going to see "everyday" use. Even then I'd maybe think very hard before the change.

Maybe you make the facility aware of what was done and negotiate a change to the 10/30 in the spring. A '90 MY with 11K should certainly still have the OE oil fill cap that specifically states 10/30 and I'd have thought anyone I do business with would ask first.

I've a 3800 SSEi SC and from time to time I use a quick-serve facility for the oil change and they go out of their way to mention they've used the 10/30 spec on the oil cap. Until very recently they used bottled product but they've added 10/30 bulk and now they ask which!
