Why?

[irondiezl3]

on higher mileage isnt it better to switch to it?

[lord2heart]

i have 144k miles with 5w30 syn in my car. no, you dont have to

[jabartram]

im at 131000 running amsoil 10w40.

[cherrington17]

its just thicker. cars shouldn't need to. trucks maybe.

i'm at 80 and i run 5-30. No reason to change, if your not having problems.

my car has no problems, i live in a hotter climate a slightly higher weight oil is beneficial. i also run an oil cooler. its all in what you prefer as the owner and what helps you feel comfortable about the protection in your car. i prefer 10/30 or 10/40.

will running 10w30 in summer hurt my engine?

[[ion] C2]

No, lol. I use 15W-50.

[cherrington17]

no. it won't hurt. but it won't really help either. we don't get warm enough for it to make a difference.

[lord2heart]

C2;542974']No, lol. I use 15W-50.

I'm currently running 5w30 which i put in before winter
I live in the Mojave dessert, it gets in the single digits in the winter and up to 120 in the summer(typically around 110 day to day but its not uncommon to be 100 at 1am)
i have 83k
should i run 10w30 or stick with 5w30? or is something else be better?
they dont sell 5w20 anywhere here cuz of the heat
im not running synthetic simply cuz im a poor college student:(

[jackal2000]

i'm about to bump mine up to 10w30 syn for the summer. should help quiet down my sewing machine.

[Vic28]

10w30 syn all year long...

[CBLOHM3400]

10w30 syn all year long...

same here
also in everything in my yard that requires oil

[Vella's Alero]

I run 5W30 all year round and my car is at 260,000km. It's also the 3400 and is starting to get a lot of lifter tick. Will going to 10W30 help quiet down the tick?

[AndysGX]

0w30 synthetic, no problems after 125k.

[cherrington17]

how far away is lockport from rochester?
50-70 miles depending on where it is...

usually about an hour drive. basically the same weather wise... rochester is just cleaner/newer then buffalo.

[irondiezl3]

just curious whats thicker 5w-40 or 10w-30

[CBLOHM3400]

5W40 is thicher when warm and thinner when cold
in multi viscosity oil first number is weight when cold to a certain point and second number is weight when hot to a certain point

[lonnie]

Why did I think this was about gravy?

I use 5w30 syn all day!
