Nice Fish 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Flo on  Sat Jul 27 05:34 CST 2002 [RELATED]


I'm just looking for a year-round synthetic oil that can handle cold starts when I go skiing up in the mountains and then take on the deserts of Southwestern U.S., not to mention stop-and-go traffic in the city, and high speed driving in the highway. Shell Rotella makes a 5w-40 synthetic for $3.40 per quart. Are they any good? I wouldn't mind changing it every 3k. 5w-40 is a viscosity approved by the manual, is it okay to not follow it? Let's say with a 0w-30 or 10w-40 as you recommend?
