hahah my fault, yea i guess its that grade...ne thing higher. i just want to know if i will benifit from it. 15-50

my uncle said use 25w-30 or something like that, seems kinda high to me.

im starting off new cause im doing my auto rx treatment so i want to have like a fresh start you know.
 
Try out one of the high mileage 10w30s, such as Pennzoil or GTX HM, both of which are formulated on the thicker end of a 30wt, and should reduce consumption without costing an arm and a leg. Or you could try Pennzoil 10w40, which is a thinner 40wt oil.
 
darn mobil drive clean doesnt come in 10w40....only in 15w30...u think i should try? should i have less wear on the engine?
 
JohnnyG ,
If a 45-70 can't get the job done try a :
25-20,32-20,44-40,25-06,30-06
Just remember the first number is for WINTER SHOOTING!

For gear lubes try:
338-06,300-378,338-378

Had an oil analysis on a pump come back with ISO 57 oil in it one time (supposed to be ISO 46).

When I asked the greaser to show me the drum of ISO57, as it looked like a great compromise between 46 and 68, he turned a tad red, and the next analysis was spot on 46 again.
