Looking for a durable, non-boutique oil that's available at any store. What thick 5w30s or thin 0w40s are out there? Going into a friend's Maxima who would like cut down on oil being sheared (he's right to be cautious in my opinion)
SoCal, Why not 10w30?Looking for a durable, non-boutique oil that's available at any store. What thick 5w30s or thin 0w40s are out there? Going into a friend's Maxima who would like cut down on oil being sheared (he's right to be cautious in my opinion)
You can't really get 10W30 with a high HTHS, you can only get it in the thin ILSAC stuff the only high HTHS 10W-30 is syn-blend diesel oil, and I'd think for a gasoline car Euro PCMO is probably a better choice.SoCal, Why not 10w30?
I know Amsoil's lower tiered oils OE and XL are 3.3 for sure, so I figured there must be others out there from the majors. I really don't understand why some of them won't publish HT/HS figures. Also I think Valvoline may have a higher HT/HS 10w30.You can't really get 10W30 with a high HTHS, you can only get it in the thin ILSAC stuff the only high HTHS 10W-30 is syn-blend diesel oil, and I'd think for a gasoline car Euro PCMO is probably a better choice.
Unless the temperature is noted, it typically is the measure of the dynamic viscosity of an engine oil under high temperature and shearing loads at 150C, which represents the kind of forces and temperatures motor oil is experiencing under load in bearing spaces.What is "HTHS"?
