Been running Castrol 30wt and I'm thinking about changing to multiviscosity. Any suggestions? Was thinking about 20-50wt Castrol. socal cold mornings and warm hill climb in the afternoon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) .....I normally recommend 20/50 VALVOLINE. But considering you have already been using Castrol, then just use 20/50 Castrol. It is also good oil. with each oil change you may want to add 1/2 qt of a pure synthitic oil. The synthetic will lubricate the engine seals, keeping them soft and tight. I know there are many new oils available. I have never had any problems with VALVOLINE no matter what the engine application was. Years ago, in a back to back test (when I had an engine DYNO) VALVOLINE proved itself by allowing the engine to produce 1.5 HP..more than any other oil. (140 H.P. 1600 cc engine, ) which eventually, ( over many years evolved into 1600 cc 185 HP.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) murray
