Oil FAQ sheet





Pretty good study on different grades of oils, I found this way back when I still frequented MX6.com. Gives ya something to think about before that next oil change.

What if 20 some years of abuse has made the sticker un-legible?



Could someone look at the faq sheet then?

Um yah I dont think the hood label is going to give you flash ratings on 15 different oils brotha.

 

good read.



Thanks for the info.

 

20w50 valvoline in the rx7, 15w50 mobil one synth in the civic.

 

I run 100W Shell Aviation oil.

 

 

I run straight up 50 weight.



Just like the faq said, the way multi grade oils work is the polimers reaction to heat. They dont help lubrication at all, so why **** with it. Just takes a little longer to warm up...
