It still runs extremely smooth and there's no issue with performance. So I'm wondering if I should've used a heavier weighted oil? I live in FL so the climate is a little warmer. Thanks for any input.
Probably not the right oil for your car. Some drivers run Mobil 1 0W-40, I run Castrol 5W-40, some run 10W-50. All should be full synthetic.
