Quick question from y'all, pushing 70,000 miles on my truck, but not sure if it's time to switch to a high mileage or continue with "reg" M1. I guess my questions are the following. Also, I guess some of these questions would possibly be answered better after getting my UOA back, but I will post that information when I receive it.
1. Man recommends 5W-30 or 10W-30, been using M1 5W-30, wondering if a 10W-30 might suit my needs better as I live in south Texas where it is brutally hot most of the year, and concerned about this oil thinning out of grade over ext OCI's.
2. Whether I switch to a HM or EP (which I found interestingly seemed to maintain it's viscosity well in some of posted UOA's) Should I make that switch to a HM or just go to the EP line or just make the jump over to the M1 T&SUV formula? Could I mix a quart of EP or HM into some of the regular M1 to take advantage of a "boosted" add pack?
3. On the subject of mixing, would it be ok to mix 10W-30 and 5W-30 for plops and giggles, will you end up with a hyb. weight, so to speak?
Thanks in advance, again, as soon as i see my results for my UOA, i'll get them up.
