Hi all,
Just received 16qts of valvoline 10w40 synthetic motorcyle oil from a neighbor who is moving. I do not have a motorcycle but was wondering would it be any problem dumping this stuff into my 1992 s-15 Jimmy (192K miles). Currently use M1 10w30 HM synthetic. Oweners manual recommmened is SL 5w30. Found following specs for oil on Valvoline website. Would 5k oil change interval be okaApprovals/Performance Levels
