Hi all! Been doing ALOT of research here, and find myself making a post. Car is a 98 toyota corolla. I like using 10w 30. Belive in better lubircation over a 5w 30. Now with winter coming here in southwest ct...other night it happened again! Have supertech 10w30 dino in, do oil change every 3 months, short tripper. Temps at night got around 42-44..Turning over car, that niose, it hesitated to turn a few cycles. Never that prob with a synthetic.
However, this time reseraching here, since i change it often, the oil, looking at supertech, advance auto or napa. Napa has a sale right now, and i know its VERY close virtually identical too valv synth...for $3.49 quart. Supertech not sure, but thought i read here its pour point was like minus 48 F! i know pour point is just where oil shows little movement...but at minus 48 F good enough for me! I see advacne auto has synthetic as well, and know its not a real synthetic.
Out of the 3, which would give the lowest temp startup. januray feb come its literally going to be 14 degrees at night. 10w 30 is going to be thick n hard too turn..so want a 10w30 synthetic out of the 3 listed. read lots of good stuff here, about wear numbers on supertech as well...
