I never thought about using HDEO. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the owner's manual recommendation except they recommend 10w-30 or 5w-30 for colder areas like mine. They only say to avoid "...Oils labeled API SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF or SG". It's been below 0 a few times this week already. I saw Shell T-6 comes in a 5w-40. Maybe that's an option?
Thanks for the rest of the info, too!
10w-30 is typically thinner than a 5w-40, even though it's 5w. T6 is a solid oil and so is M1 0w-40, castrol 0w-40.
We always ran 10w-30 in them when I was growing up and never had an issue even when subzero.
Yes, 10w-30's are, by virtue of being xW-30's, thinner than an xW-40. However the 5w-40 will have better cold temperature performance, as it has to in order to obtain the 5W-xx designation.
My point being, that when looking at viscositiy, a 10w30 will be thinner than a 5w-40 at ambient temps until
Extreme cold temperatures, which he does not appear to be facing.
Yes, it will be thinner probably right down to before it approaches the CCS measuring temperature for the grade I would imagine. it is -25C for the 10W-xx designation, or -13F. So maybe around or just below -20C (-4F) which sounds like temperatures he might experience, no?
