I just dumped a load of this stuff in yesterday, but today I noticed ( specs) that it's HTHS is low for this engine. I live in Atlanta and it's currently between 30 and 60 degrees, and will undoubtedly get much warmer in the spring and summer. An expensive mistake to learn, but I'd rather spend $60 now on the proper oil instead of damage the engine.
Frankly, I drive the bejeezus out of the car and drive it hard, but it is also maintained to the N-th degree. That being said - I am now thinking that the Amsoil is far too thin for my tastes and I am thinking of going to a 10w40 or so. I am rather limited to Wal-Mart and Autozone for my oil supplies... Any suggestions?
Thanks
