Well.....It's getting time to think about the "winter" oil for the old beater Maxima. Looking at the specs, M1 10w30 seems to be very close specs to the PENZ 5w30 that I was thinking about using.
M1/PENZ / Pour Point -45/-44c, Viscosity 40C 62/60, @100C 10.0/10.5
M1 does not give a Low Temp cP like Penz does at <[email protected], but I'll bet the syn oil is better.
So, my question is: If I were to switch to syn M1, why should I use 5w30 when 10w30 is the same or better for cold weather then the 5w30 Penz?
Let me know what you think.....Thanks
