Hi guys,
A little brain tired today.
Couplé quick questions;
Is 0W-40 synthetic only?
Hey Shell,
you mean octane boost, Yes?
Personal préférence, or is there another reason?
Thanks for any input.
P.S.
CHANCE OF EFFING SNOW AGAIN!

Thanks for the replies! 9krpmrx8, would I be better off running a 0W-50 on 5w-50 rather than a 0W-40 or 5W-40 If i tend to drive the car hard/Redline a few times a day? it can get up to 30C over here and I drive my car quite a bit in the summers. Also, thoughts on mixing lucas oil upper cylinder lubricant into the gas tank every fill up? Also, correct me if im wrong, a thinner oil is better for start ups and fuel economy (and what else?), but a thicker oil is better in higher temperatures and better for lubrication and engine life? so find a balance, which to me sounds like it is in the 0-5W and 40-50 Range. Also, winter Ill probably run 5or10W-30

My rotary mechanic has done countless engine rebuilds on 13Bs that have used 50W and he says they always are the healthiest looking motors

Yeah, 20w50 can work, but would you really want to start that at -20f.
The 0w40 is about same thickness at 32f as the 10w30, but stays thicker when warmed up, so it acts like thick oil when it counts.
