Plus, the first # in the oil rating doesn't apply as much to his climate - south FL as the first # in the oil's weight rating is it's cold flow rating. Cold in south FL is just a tad bit different than cold here in PA (or OH) for 50 weeks or so of the year...


... (I've never used 10W30) quite a few years ago, as Burg says.
When my car developed an RMS leak, I decided to try a heavier blend (15W50) and it completely cured my leak.
I've been using it ever since.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
