Changed the oil in my new Altima today and was shocked it called for synthetic 0-20 weight. What the hell, what is this for zero tolerence fittments? I meàn thats like water right?
Is this what they are running in engines these days? I don't grt it. Showing my age again. Just in time for Lisa's dance! John |

Wow, 0-20 oil.
No new cars here, but our 2002 Acura RSX-S 2.0 four and 2005 Nissan Frontier 4.0 V-6 both use 5-30. That seemed like water the first time I did oil changes. Our previous cars used 10-30 or 10-40. Are new car transmission and differential oils also lighter? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
