In those temperatures, you should be running a 5/30, dino or synthetic. 10/40 is not recommended in these cars in any temp.

My point, since you inquired, is that I find it difficult to believe that this simple topic can be construed as so complicated that it requires 16 pages of rhetoric to answer the same question over and over again. Buy a good brand of oil, change it along with the filter, often, and that's it. End of subject. Solved. All done. Finished. Complete. Nothing left to hash over. What else can be said. End of the story. Finito. No mas. Move on to something else. There are other, bigger things to worry about. Get it? Just my opinion of course, and opinions are like a..holes. Everyone has one. So, what does it all mean in the overall scheme of things, the bigger picture, the grand plan? Nothing, Nada, Zilch, Zero, Naught, Zip, KahKah, and that's another fine mess you've gotten us into Ollie! Page 17 is just around the corner. TTFN

Not true, you need to buy a good brand of oil that's API starburst certified, 5/30 or 10/30. Not just "a good brand". Good brands come in straight 50 weight. Are you suggesting he use that??

. Maybe you need to re-read this thread.

My N* consumes, burns, loses, whatever, a quart of oil every 800 - 1000 miles. I have been following all the forums on the subject and it appears that this is not unusual. Will switching to one of these oils reduce consumption without any other ill effects? If there is a way to do that I would be interested as long as there is no major loss of power, gas mileage, or performance. Which oil would be recommended if in fact there is a better choice? Thanks!

Now who said that on 10-15-06, I know. MUGSANDLUKE !! See post 6. And I thought you were the "Oil Man". I guess we were a little late with this thread to help you.

Yup. It was 5 degrees out yesterday with a -10/-15 wind chill. Had no problem starting the car...just changed the oil at the beginning of the month and put in 5/30.

OK, you got me. I didn't give up. But you guys better get cookin'. You're starting to slide down the list of active threads. You are so close to 21 pages that I am willing to assist with additonal postings, albeit my intentions are purely driven by my comical side. Duracel has nothing on you guys. You just keep going and going and going...................... Bye Bye! I've got to go and change the oil in my prosthetics. Now,,,,,what oil to use is the question.
