oil question

[snoboardcore]

hey guys quick question what kind of oil should i be running right now in the summer currently im running 10 30 oil. any suggestions thanks.

Are you buring oil or having pressure issues? If not, the 10W-30 sounds good to me.

i have always heard 10-30 is a good year around oil....who knows,i think it depends on milege...etc.

There is really no blanket statement as to which grade is oil is best for a particular motor. Generally one wants the least viscous oil which retains proper pressure in all situations. Hardly any two motors on here are exactly the same.

Good luck.

If you're not having any problems -- I see no reason to change. You can try different grades and see if it acts differently, but I wouldn't expect night and day...

10W30 is what I've always ran year round in mine.

In New Hampshire - 10W30 or 10W40 is probably fine for summer; you probably want to drop back to 5W30 if the car has to endure cold starts during the winter.

i bump mine up to 15-40 during the summer, but i also have some leaks that cause smoke, so it helps with that
