Hi guys,
I'm just curious about everyones thoughs on the new GF5 rated oil and its performance in the winter.
I try to keep the families oil buying costs to a minimum, and the deal on Castrol GTX and Formula shell at Costco in Canada is pretty nice.
The cold pour point of GTX is now -39 C, syntec is only 42 C.
I know theres more to cold weather performance that pour points, but would the syntec be that much of an advantage in the odd -25 degree morning we see in Canada? Its twice the price, and wouldnt give us twice the service life.
The cars are a 2000 Honda civic, and a 1999 Honda CRV, and we want these engines to last!
Thanks,
Ryan
