One of my cousins stopped by last night to bring me supper. I had a setback with my leg this past Thursday and am limited to what I can/can't do. He saw the Castrol 0W40 on my table and asked what I was going to use that in. I told him my trucks engine. He stated, "Don't you know you will blow your engine up if you don't use what was spec'd for it?" This is the same cousin that will ONLY use FRAM oil filters because he said that JOHN FORCE and DON GARLITS use them. He told me that a guy he knew owned a 94 GMC with the 5.3 engine. He stated that he used a 5W20 oil in it. He said it was too thin and made the bearings burn up to cause the engine to explode. I said, "WTH are you talking about!" He kept on and on about how I better drain the PP EURO from my engine , or else. I just didn't have it in me to argue with him.
Does anyone else have a similar family member, friend, etc. with the same mindset?
