.. or good ol' 0W-30 based on what they do in fact have on the shelf. I would not be forced into a blend if for some reason I could not order from online. That has happened before.
This solves a number of issues for me:
1. I don't need to buy oil at Walmart.
2. I could buy at Amazon.com or build points in Autozone or advance since autozone does not treat its military employs well and a boycott is still at work.
3. my engine was spec'd for a 30 weight and a 50 weight may be too heavy; however a 40 way to give better protection given the unknown engine may be perfect. also it is synthetic with a 0 W for startup flow whether it is the German Castrol 40 wait which is heavier and may have better properties. also is a synthetic in case there is some kind of hot spot in my engine as I really do not know.
4. again 0 W number as I thought of oil with a 5w number and 40 weight hot transcribed API HTHS number.
5. my father used to run 10 w 40 conventional oil in his blazer in the summer all the way through fall then 10w30 in the winter as 5w-30 was not trusted by he in the 80's or 90's for some reason nor was synthetic oil.
How am I doing, for my unconventional oil selection?
