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)

What's a good weight for those of us who live in places with four seasons? 10/40?

QUOTE(flipb @ Dec 18 2009, 12:30 PM)  What's a good weight for those of us who live in places with four seasons? 10/40? Good old Shell Rotella T 15w40 is what I put in a $14K T4 engine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'll use it on my big T4 engine too if I ever finish my bug (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I used 30W-HD valvoline in my 18yr/old gene Berg 2.0 type one till I changed to Rotella T, this engine is my daily summer driver and has been in four of my VW's. It's now in my '67 bus and I have to beef the trans before it busts it. This engine has already claimed the lives of 3 other transmissions. The engine cost me $4500 IN 1991. Anywhere $12/gal. BTW I still have a case of Swepco oil sitting on the shelf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
