They run on anything if there is no consumption issues. I have 5w-20 in my Mom's 1996 2.Slo for winter, and will add some MLEP to thicken it for summer. She does short trips.
 
Thanks, guys!!
So, like RTS 5-40 would work well??? Got PILE of the old CI-4+ stuff stashed away.

5w-40 is the classic Euro engine visc. I believe it to be unnecessarily thick in winters. Considering the specific output of that engine, 40 weight is mad overkill. That being said, would I be in a rush to use 5w-40 in it for winter, no. Will it work, yes. Can you get better results with mpg and cold cranking with a 30 weight...
