ColdScrip Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Some people run thicker. Here is how I see it. Mitsu says 10w30. Joe shmoe gets a thought in his head and thinks it makes sense and says go thicker. IMO show me an article, research, or data proving thicker is better and i'll believe you. Till then, 10w30.

So i need help any suggestionsthicker oil wont stop leaks. someone likes oil pressure. granted if the motor is wore out, thicker oil helps. but chances are its not. i run 15w40 in the summer generally, and 10w30 in the winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
