Hello all,
I am pretty convinced in going with 10w-30 once my stock (2 more oil changes) of 5w-40 synthetic runs out on my 2014 Ford F550 powerstroke 6.7. However, since it is a motorhome, it can sit anywhere from 15-20 days at a time without being run (am pretty good at keeping it in good working order).
My only question or concern is...does 10w-30 stay/remain on the metal surfaces the same as 5w-40 (heavier weight oil)? Would a 40 weight vs. a 30 weight oil provide better protection (maintain oil stays on the metal surfaces) better between longer start intervals?
Just curious if that is even a factor or consideration I am overlooking?
Thanks to all again in advance.
