Re: what oil do you use?
I use 5w - 30. Usually get Mobile 1000 or Quaker State only because they come in 5 litre jugs 1 litre bottles. I hate messing around with US quarts labelled as xxx mills

Re: what oil do you use?
5w-30 in winter and 10w-30 in the summertime. We get a couple stretches in winter where it won't be above 0 for a couple days.
