Well, i am at an impasse. I Can NOT decide whether to use 15W-50 M1 or 5W-50 Castrol Syntec!
Castrol Syntec 5W-50 is Group III so if i chose that i could do an Auto-Rx app with Delo 400 15W-40 for the summer, no worries. Problem solved there, i just have to buy the Auto Rx and really use it through August and September, hot months.
For December, January, i could then go to 5W-50 Group III, which is good for ARX's "Cleaning" Phase.
People DO say 15W-50 i can use year rould, since there is about One week or two that Temps will be like Zero or -5 Overnight ("Overnight low dipping dowm to -5 and -10 in some parts of the Cincinatti area, so bundle up and watch for frozen roads" = Dead of winter.) However, i cant help but think that 5W-50 will Lube faster at start up in ANY Temp from 0 to 100 (hottest it gets is about 100 on a Hot day, spike to 104 perhaps in blazing heat) than a 15W-50, even if it is a 10W-50 at heart.
This is to stop the Oil Burning and all that.
My research leads me to think 5W-50 as well, since M1 may or may not cause leaks and Castrol, being a Fake Synthetic and all, may not.
Thoughts?
And Please pardon the
Im seriously tempted to:
1) GET Auto-Rx
2) GET Delo 400 15W-40 HDEO at WM for $12 (!) Summer Oil.
3) USE Auto-RX AND that Oil for 5000 miles, Filter changing.
4) Go Syntec.
The other route is:
1) use or dont use Auto-Rx with the Delo.
2) Go M1 15W-50, again, Wally world.
