I think you guys are hilarious...Thanks for the input AU, and the rest of you guys...I bought some GC from AZ this evening...I've only got 7K miles or so on my M1 10w-30, but I plan to swap the GC in next week, while I'm installing my race header (whoo hoo!)...I really wanted a lower cSt, but it...
I guess GC really is the pet oil around here...I may just go ahead and try the stuff for the winter...I'll wait a bit though to see if I can soak up a little more knowledge here...
P.S. Anyone noticed any negative effects from switching around to different brands of synthetic? I used to work at...
Also per JohnBrowning; I will consider the M1 Ow-40 suggestion...Especially if it shears to a 30 weight equivalent...Any penalty in going with a M1 0w-40 over M1 0w-30 in terms of fuel economy, frictional losses etc?
Also, pardon if I ask an absurd question, so here I go: Can you mix M1 0w-20...
Thanks for all the comments so far..Also thanks for being easy on a BITOG newbie.
I can certainly concede that GC 0w-30 would be great for summer use, but I'm curious about a suitable synthetic oil for winter use...I am attracted to something that is a 30 weight. My occupation involves...
Well, my interest in a 0w-30 is three fold:
-Fuel economy
-Horsepower
-Cold start
Seems like I can kill three birds with one stone (err, oil) with 0w-30..
I'm currently using M1 10w-30, but I think it's a bit of overkill...Also, haven't had any consumption issues with any grade...
Isn't...
I have read quite a few posts regarding the Mobil 1 Racing 0w-30, but did not see a strong consensus regarding its use for part daily driving part race..I understand that it is not API certified also? In any case, the RSX has a 8600RPM redline (which I attain often enough) and I participate in...
