As do I. More or less what I would expect, but I'm glad someone took the time and effort to do it.

Did you have to go back to 1982 to find that oil?

Yeah, we used to run 20W-50 year round back in the 80's. Hondas, Detroit iron, everything. Engines lasted forever. Back then, thin oils weren't that great. We thought 5w30 was water.

I got reamed on here for running a 0w30 mix in my Accord for crying out loud.



Thanks. Thin oil for my drag cars, Thick for the road race cars, and cheap for the commuters.



Lol... The most I've done is 15W40 in a gas engine!
