I've been running Mobil 1 10-40 but with this REALLY cold weather should I switch to Castrol 5-30?? *NM* John B in SC - Thursday, 9 December, 2010, at 4:46:26 pm |
No, 30 weight is too thin for these engines; you should be fine with 10W-40 in SC..... *NM* JFP in PA - Thursday, 9 December, 2010, at 4:53:34 pm |
10W synthetic pumps fine. Just drive it easy until it warms a bit grant - Friday, 10 December, 2010, at 11:41:25 am |
Perhaps I’m showing my age, but I remember when 10W-X oils were recommended for the arctic....... *NM* JFP in PA - Friday, 10 December, 2010, at 12:01:50 pm |
0W-40? *NM* Jayusa123 - Thursday, 9 December, 2010, at 11:38:20 pm |
We are decidedly not fans of 0W-anything................. JFP in PA - Friday, 10 December, 2010, at 10:25:49 am |
I would suspect then that you're not a fan of the 0W-5 they recommend for my new Tundra? *NM* John B in SC - Friday, 10 December, 2010, at 5:33:31 pm |

Extremely poor UoA’s, inability to “stay in grade” (advertised weights) after low miles, etc………….. You are much better off with either a 5W or 10W-40 product, preferably not one from Mobil 1……
My 02 Boxster covered 10s of thousands of miles on Mobil 1 0w-40 with 5K mile oil/filter... MarcW - Monday, 13 December, 2010, at 5:59:39 pm |
