Default What oil is every one using???

I was curious to know what oil and oil number are you using? Not sure what they call the number on the oil an example is 10W 30. Thanks!

How many miles are on your car. I used 10w40 normally or 15w40 because I had a high mileage motor and it slowed my leaks somewhat and I made better oil pressure.

15w40 is what we use for diesel's at the shop. But if you like running it IMO its a little think.

-expensive, doesnt make a huge difference, but I work at autozone and it's nice to know that at 300k you can trust not breaking something at redline
