I guess I should have started there... we are all leaving a minor detail out when we ask for recommendations, and that is climate temperature for where we live. Thats why it didn't make sense to me when I saw some people were using 0-20, for my temp (Miami) recommended is SH - 10-30, though I could not find the SH one, I had to get SG (I believe)...
By the way, I joined BJ's this weekend, they had a special on the membership of $30 for two cards for 15 months, I know they sell the cases of oil there plus other things I need for the house I got a 6pack for $23.99 of Mobil 1 synthetic 10-30 |
If I remember correctly on a 0-20w oil the 0 is the viscosity of a 0 weight oil when cold and the 20 is the viscosity of a 20 weight oil when hot. Now if that is the case 20w is the viscosity needed when hot, whether you live in Florida or Alaska. A 30w would be too thick for the MDS to work properly.
