Right now I'm running a mix of Rotella T6 5w-40 and SuperTech 5w-20. I use HDEO 40 grade in the summer because I am pretty hard on the jeep (4 wheeling / towing / hauling) and I've sheared 5w-30 out of grade a few times!
I have a HD fan clutch, new cooling system, and with winter approaching, I don't plan on getting the Jeep much above operating temperature, or pushing it hard. And if I tow, it's not going to be in OD - that with the cold temps outside will keep me from heating the coolant and oil up.
I really don't want to run a 40 grade in the winter; especially since I'll only be driving it to work and back once or twice a week.
Don't want to spend the money on a 0w-30 synthetic.
So - what would be the thinnest synthetic 5w-30 and dino 5w-30 for non-HDEO purposes?
Price does play a role in the decision making process!
Thanks!
