I'm a long time lurker here, first time posting.
I have a LOT of engines around. I maintain all my own stuff, the parents' stuff, and my sister's too.
So last week I see a ton of Edge 0W40 really cheap at Wally world (which everyone here probably already knows)and I picked it up.
I see a lot of people here saying it shears down to a 30 weight pretty quickly, but I'm not a big oil nerd (yet) so I've got to do some more research on just exactly what that entails.
But for now, what can I use this stuff in? I know it's good oil, but the 0W stuff is still a little iffy to me.
I have an 83 GMC with 305, three Jeep CJ's with 258's, and a 95 GMC with a 350. I know 40 weight is fine in all of those. This )W stuff ok to use in these old engines? I've been running Rotella or GTX in them, normally 10W30.
I daily drive a 94 Accord with 260K on it. I normally run 5W30 GTX in it, but would this syn 40 weight hurt anything? I'm thinking no, but it's something I plan to drive for a long time, so don't want to do anything harmful to it. I got 360K out of my 93 Accord with the same engine using 5W30 GTX and it didn't use a drop of oil when I sold it.
Wife has a 2011 Mazda 6 with the 2.5. Hers calls for 0W20/5W20 so I'm thinking a big no on the 40 weight in that one. Same with the 2010 and 2011 Accords, 2008 Odyssey.
I've got a lot of Generators, mowers, air compressors, etc that have small air cooled engines (mostly Honda) that I figure this full syn 0W40 will work great in. Main question is use in the vehicles.
Yes, I know this is a totally newb question. Figured it would be easier to come out and ask than to spend half a day reading and probably still not get a definitive answer.
