First of all, I already read the FAQ on LC/FP, which only has FAQ's on FP, and nothing on LC, or I missed it totally. (I don't think so, though).
I just bravely finished my 1st 6-month, 6500 mile OCI in my short trip driven 4.6 Tbird with MC mix and vsot...this is my longest OCI todate on this car, and I'm consdiering what I could do to help the oil in the next 6-months, so I can sleep a little better than I did during the last 6 mo.
The oil which it has right now for the winter is Mobil clean HM 10/30(which is NOT thicker than the regular Mobil 10/30).
The car runs almost only short trips, and I'm thinking of using LC.
2 things concerns me:
1) some people have reported increase in oil consumption with LC (which I just got to stop in my car, after a long time, pretty sure solely with VSOT)
2) reports of LC thinning out the host oil?
my Tbird seems happiest with moderately thick mixes (has 110k proud miles now)
in spite of these reports, do you guys think my car can benefit from LC?
I'm thinking of continuing to use VSOT with the LC to combat the 2 fears I listed above.
what do you guys think?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
I just noticed!!! This is my 1000th post on BITOG!!! a milestone in my life
