I see no reason to switch to anything less than a 40 or 50 weight... what you're after is better cold starts? Note that the second number is the viscosity rating once the oil is up to operating temperature. I suspect you don't want to run a lighter weight oil at operating temp than you have to. I think I saw a 15W-50 mobile 1 product. That sound pretty ideal to me.. I'm running 15W-40 amsoil at the moment. Next year I intend to try to 20W-50 year round. For whatever reason, I'm sold on amsoil. We'll see how it behaves though. From my understanding, you never want to run a w-30 oil ever. And 40 isn't as desirable as 50 for these beasts. I suppose it's the viscosity spread that you're concerned with? Brad
