Re: what oil do you use?

In winter I use 5W-30 of Quaker State High Mileage or Pennzoil High Mileage. In summer I am going to use 10W-40 of Quaker State High Mileage.

Quaker State HM has a surprisingly good viscosity index. The 10W-40 will not get excessively thick at ambient temperatures and will remain thicker at summer operating temperatures to help reduce leaks. HM oils also have greater cleaning ability and seal conditioners.
