Hi guys,

        I’ve been using mobil 1 15W 50.

It was very hard to find down south but locally still at Walmart and the price was low when I last got it.  I hope it is still there when I go back.

I noticed the info here is for 40 weight.    And still a water boxer..  Don’t most use 50 weight or some even 60 weight?
