Nice price, wrong weight for most applications. Could use it as a thickener, but why bother. Too bad they don't have some of the 10w30 on the clearance.

What would you use it in? A 638CI BB chevy bracket car? Oh, that's right - the poorly engineer BMW 3.2 six ....

I put some of that same oil and weight in my lawnmower, which already is hard to start (needs a carb rebuild) and it made it really really hard to start.
