Hi

Been hanging around for a while, lots of great info here. Thought I would join and toss my 2c once and a while.

I have a 2001 F150 4.6 V8 ~30K and a 99 Saturn SW1 ~80K. I just came across some 0W30 GC Syntech. I bought 6 qts, now I'm not sure what I should do. Should I put it all in my F150 at the next OC?? It's rated for 5W20 and I've been using the Motorcraft stuff. Should I mix it 50/50 with GTX? Should I put it in the Saturn it's rated for 5W30?? Then I have enough for 1.5 OC, I might not be able to get more by spring. I could maybe mix it 25/75 and make it last a long time in the Saturn(I've been using 5W30 GTX).

Thanks

Just use the GC at 100% strength in your truck. Save the GTX for your Saturn.

BTW......

Thanks

I'm thinking of getting some more, I noticed it's still rated at SL is that a concern?? Also would it be better in the truck for the winter or summer compared to the Motorcraft 5W20.

Not a concern at all.
