I read somewhere that if you take old 10W30 and pour it through a Brita pitcher filter three times you get 5W30 that's almost as good as new.

(don't try this at home)

I thought you were trying to stir up trouble, it's 5W20 according to the manual but for the same engine in 2011 Fits they're saying 0W20.
