    Prius Roof Refinish

    Some Honda paints hold up well. This is a 2012 Accord with 150,000 miles that is a daily driver that is outside for 12-16 hours a day and sits in a garage at night. Paint is near perfect with no signs of clear coat failure. Headlights were polished about a year ago:

    27 year old GMC Sierra 93,000 miles. Should I switch to full synthetic(Mobil 1)?

    Also I have always used 5w30 weight thinking it flows better. Should I consider using something like a 10w30 or even maybe a 0w40? I use Mobil 1 0w40 for our Volvo XC70.
