I use straight 30 weight Shell Rotella oil and everything I got. I use it in my farm tractor my automobile my pickup truck and my lawn mower. my Honda Accord has 268 thousand miles on it.
Very informative video as to how vicosity and V. I. works at high low temps.
Great information, thanks for sharing!
When I think about running a 5w40 Group III oil I never know if it's really that safe or it it's going to be full of VI improvers. Carrot soup comes to mind.
Fantastic info. Thanks!
excellent video.
Nice video. Too bad about the audio problems left channel. But good info!
i have a 1983 toyota camper 22r moter 4cyl 96000 mile want to put the best oil in what do you recmmend?
I think the viscosity improvers are a good thing because your oil is thin when it's cold and thick when it's warm the complete opposite of what a straight weight oil would do correct? Since a straight 30 weight oil wouldn't have any viscosity improvers wouldn't it be thin hot and thick cold? Interesting video
I used straight 30 weight oil in tropical country is that a good change?
hydrocraked oil is synthetic oil or semisynthetic oil.
What about the taste test?
My 2017 nissan rogue manual states to use 0w-20. Can I use Amsoil 5W-30 or 10W-30? (I live in FL). Which amsoil should be best?
Amsoil makes a 10w-60 Dirt Bike Oil that I use in a dual sport. So would I be better off using a V-Twin 15w-60 instead?
I have a F22B1 (140K), and F22A6 (375K) (both Honda 4cyl) and i use GTX High Mileage 20w-50. I used AMSOil, but every hole in every gasket leaked out, so I went to a Semi-Synthetic high mileage for the swelling additives to stop and slow leaking.
This counts as Thermodynamics revision right?
I was taught in high school auto mechanics by my old school mechanics teacher that the additives in multi viscosity conventional oil didn't have any lubricating qualities. So he used straight 30 W conventional oil in his early and then his later 80s model Chevy Suburbans in the spring and summer time. Then in the fall he would switch to a multi viscosity conventional oil until the following spring. I took his advice back then, in about '85 and did the same for several years. But these days it appears that all of the straight 30 W conventional oils are mainly suited for lawnmowers and such and I haven't found any detergent type straight weight oils suitable for vehicles lately either. And I've gathered over the years that conventional oils have drastically improved also. My question is, I have a '95 Buick Riviera with about 130,000 miles and it's time for an oil change. What are your thoughts on finding/using a straight 30W oil this summer? What are your oil recommendations. I believe that the specs call for a 10w30 oil.....
Go back to the days of your youth and you may get a chance to use that straight-weight oil!
i have a saturn sl2 1998 with 247,000 miles can I use multi grade oil? would it be better?
Mr Watson, When you say that a wide range multi, like a 5w50 or 10w60 has a quick breakdown, are you considering a mineral, semi or fully synthetic oil>
