If it were someone other than Jeff I'd say they'd been snow-jobbed by the recent marketing campaigns of the oil manufacturers recommending Special Oil for SUV's, Special Oil for Cars, Special Oil for Black Cars with Red Stripes, Special Oil for Cars with More Than 4 Racing Stickers, etc. :nuts: And of course these Special oils do happen to cost more. Hmmmm...... What might that be??? Marketing, perhaps....???? LOL AS IF the appropriate oil is determined by mileage instead of actual engine clearances -- Do ALL engines suddenly get loose at 75K miles??? And suddenly they all need 15w50??? Uh.... No. I'm calling Marketing Bullshit.bump
Anyone know why jeff w would say w30 for lower but what for higher?? 10w30 15w50??
