what oil do you run...

[BoostJunki3]

ive heard people run 0w30, 5w30, 10w30

whats your preference and why?

[Fivefingerdeathpunch]

10w30, because the cap tells me too. I might do half and half for the winter. 2 5w30 and 3 10w30.

[whiney]

5w30 amsoil, with a wix filter.

[Confusingboat]

5w30 Pennzoil Full Synthetic, because I live in Minnesota and it gets d*mn cold here in the winter. I'll probly go with 10w30 for the summer though.

you guys are missing the point. he is asking about what WEIGHT of oil you run and why. anyone following the oil cap or manual is being mislead. you must right the right weight of oil for your elevation, climate, wear range, etc.

i ran 10w-40 because even in the hot summer my oil pressures would stay up. when i was running 5w-30 or 10w-30 my oil pressures would drop too low for my liking. i think the thicker oil is what kept my car alive for so long.

10w 40 so in the chicago area in the summer would you recommend it?

do you have an oil pressure gauge? what does it read idling on a 90* day?

[Warbeaver]

weights can be misleading. for example mobil 1 5w30 is thicker then mobil 1 10w30

no its not lol 5w30 is like water compared to 10w30

[Jakegday]

im not gonna waste my time on an argument when there is rock solid proof on their website. look up and interpret the cSt's of both oils and you will then understand

[Lawngoose]

10w30 whatever synthetic brand is on sale. Usually use a purolator oil filter. Run that weight all year long. I run it because I have not had any problems with it. Now in my old truck (bad rings) I run some 20w oil, helps it not smoke as bad.

[TorqueAutoMotiv]

used french fry oil

10w30 winter and summer

[djrepoman]

10w40 royal purple w/ K&N hp-2002 filter, because I get a killer discount at Jegs here.

[TheOtherNick]

I ran 5w-30 in the gp all year, 0w-20 in the g6 all year,20w-50 in my truck

[SliceTheRice]

I run 10W-30 all year long in my vehicles mostly because the climate. It VERY RARELY gets below 0* here.
