Is there such a thing? I've done some google searching without much luck. Just trying to compare ranges of oil. For instance, my manual shows
100 deg F and below , rec 5w20 for fuel econ and cold starting
0 - 120 deg F 10w30
I copied this weather information from another site, don't know how accurate it is, but it is supposed to be for my area. I am just wondering if the car is driven from roughly march-aprilish to october-novemberish, how do some of the other oiles out there such as a 0w30 or 5w30 fit into my driving schedule. I used to use 0w2-. but have been running 5w30 simply because of the lack of avail for the 0w30 amsoil I was running. I know that people are going to give me grief, but for whatever reason I prefer a 30w oil over a 20w oil, so I ve been trying to avoid any of the 20w oils. Just trying to find the best protection for my engine. It does get driven pretty hard so I try to use a high quality oil.
