I'll be ready for the rinse phase soon, and am looking for suggestions on what dino oil might be "best".
Over the projected time to complete the 2000 miles, the local temperatures will range from 0 to 90 deg F., although average winter temps will be around 30 deg F. It may take from October to August to accumulate the required miles.
I'm considering Havoline or Pennzoil 5w30. I'm curious if anyone would suggest a better alternative (brand or weight).
I suppose it's not critical, seeing as to how the oil will only be in for a relatively short distance - but perhaps someone with a similar vehicle can offer a suggestion.
BTW, I'm also treating a '87 Buick (3.8L)- ARX eliminated a small leak after about 400 miles in the clean phase.
