I will just go get the 5w30, thanks for all the replies. I will also wait for the first snow before running it again. Full synthetic change after first hour of use.

I had to make sure everything worked. And I figured heat cycling the engine was better than nothing. I dont see me changing the oil when it's 20 degrees outside and wanted to do it now.

I decided to get a new 254cc ariens snowblower with the ariens engine. I started it today for about 5 minutes to check the functionality, and yes the oil level was above minimum. All was well. Tomorrow, since it started to rain, I'd like to run it 3 more cycles of 5 minutes with a complete cool...

I have an ariens 824 that broke last year during a 3 foot storm. Both the pull start and the drive linkage. To note, the 824 electric start is broken. I fixed it by purchasing a new ariens 254cc, although I think it's 7.2 hp compared to my old 8 hp. I ordered a pull start and will work on the...

2007 Tundra w/5.7 and 175400 miles. Out: 5 quarts Idemitsu 0w20, 2.5 quarts mobil1 0w20. Just over 10K on oil. In: 7.5 quarts of Idemitsu 0w20. Drained out 6.5 quarts, not bad using 1 quart over 10K, no makeup oil added. I am the original owner.

yes, as long as it doesn't have a bunch of loops or circles. A lot of great coasters at great adventure in NJ. King-da-ka is [censored] cool.

New vehicles are too expensive, which is why I keep my 2007 I purchased new. Sticker was 37181, if I wanted the same truck today its 45K. I don't pay sticker, but just an example. 37k sticker was too much, and I'm speaking of a 2007 tundra crewmax trd. I would like a new one, but the cost is...

a pre post oil change car: 2007 nissan altima with the 3.5, 84000 miles. oil is 3 years old with 4000 miles. ran it 1.5 miles after sitting 3 years, it stops and goes. going another 2 miles for oil change at nissan tomorrow. I can't believe it started after a 3 year hibernation with just a new...

I have 173k miles on my 2007, using 0w20. I think 0w20 is fine, at least for me. Unless you know how the engine sounded since new, you can't say it is noisy. If you want to run a 5w30 synthetic, go for it, no harm done. See if it changes anything. If not, well, whatever. Run 0w20 and forget it...

2018 focus SEL well, got a great deal on it, if I took it. msrp 22215 out the door, with tax, 4 year registration, doc fee of 399, finance at 2.99 percent, 14998.00 huge savings. i got them to even take off the 1215 or so in finance charges from the car price. 67% of the MSRP price AFTER taxes...

Hold onto it, trade it on the new Tundra design. Hoping it is out in 2020
