Hi all,
I'll be ending my ARx-Rinse in about a week, and I hope to use dino oil from now on, which eliminates the use of Pennz.HM 10/30(which i have been using before Arx), 'cause I'm scared of starting my 1/2 qt/2000 miles consumption again.
I want to use Chevron 10/30, but want it to be thicker, so I thought of mixing 2 qts Delo400 15/40 with 3 qts of Chevr.supr 10/30, but have 2 questions about this:
1) will this "mix" be too thick if the temps are at about 17F(+) at start-up? that's the lowest in the mornings it has gotten here in Oak Ridge, TN. so far.
2) How would a mix of dino Pennz.10/30 and LL 15/40 in the same ratio compare to the Chevr/Delo. mix?
better/worse/same?
more info: engine is a 1997 4.6L sohc with 92,000 miles, I'll also be doing an UOA with above mentioned mix, when I've decided which one to use.
Thanks in advance...
