i used mobile 1 today i heard that some people use a heavier weight is that a good idea or no
The factory recommended 5-30 should do well in most cases, unless you live in a very hot or very cold area. In those areas I'd either go one weight higher or lower.......
I personally make a blend of sythetics. I have an 01 Chevy S10 2.2L 4 banger. And a 79 383 C.I.D. motor. I use at least 1 quart of the lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. And then as for oil, I use 0w-20 Mobil 1 for the S10 and then Royal Purple 10W-30 for the Camaro. Sometime's I'll mix them even more and use a quart of each and a little bit of Amsoil. I get the amsoil free from work.
