I have had the car for a little over a year so I think my biggest problem is I probably used oil that is to light from the start . I had no idea what was used in the car. Started with 0w-40...then 5w-40....Now was thinking 15w-50......What would you all think about a 60 weight oil ..?
I think that if you need anything more than a quality 5W-40, something is wrong with your engine.
