Re: Oil Weights

[Vikram Mittal <vikram.mittal@gep.ge.com>]

Scott, I use regular oil with absolutely no problems.
I find that 5W30 in the Winter is good but per my
experience and the owners manual, it is a bit too
thin for 2-3 hour drives at high speed.

What I do is I put 2 quarts of 10W40 and 1 quart of
5W30 during oil changes. I use good quality Castrol 
or Quaker State.

I have used synthetic in the past but prefer regular 
3000 mile oil changes with the regular stuff.

Best regards,

Vikram.

Vikram, what type of oil do you use during winter months.  I got my 
sister in
law a 1990 100q and its going to Vermont in two weeks.  I am in the
Carolinas, but will be changing the oil this week.  To the best of my
knowledge, its never used sythethics.  Appreciate your 
comments.....Scott
