Hi,
My 98 S10 ZR2 sits for a while (say 6 days) between drives. It then goes on a long drive, where the oil gets up to temperature.
Money isnt really an issue, as I only need to change my oil about twice a year, so I dont mind payinga few more dollars for oil.
I use ac delco ultraguard gold filters, and currently a 50/50 mix of castrol gtx with GC, with some 132 added in.
I like the 132 because of its moly and anticorrosion additives.
So, Id like to know if there is much of a benefit of using schaeffers 7000 5w-30 with these additives in it by design, as compared to a good oil (Im thinking of changing to M1 next oil change) with a dose of 132 in it? Granted I dont add too much 132, as it is quite thick, but the additives are there. I am woried about additive clash from the oil being in there for so long, etc.
I feel that schaeffers is a great product, and would be willing to mail order it, but only if it is going to provide superior protection in terms of anticorrosion and barrier protection for cold startups, as compared to an OTC synth like m1 or GC, mixed with some of the 132.
Any info/comments would be great!
Thanks,
JMH
