Good tip. BTW-unless you are racing, you likely don't need that 15-50 even in summer. It won't hurt mind you but you will lose MPG and actually generate more engine heat.

When we changed to 15W50 and it shows 2 bars low after a fill-up with cleaning the windows (about 10 minutes). Freaked my wife out because she didn't know I had changed the oil weight. Flip the key when it's cold and it's all bars on the digital guage and full on the stick. |
