Oil question - Yes, another one :) Weight for TX?
OK, I found a guy literally a half a mile from my house who carries Brad Penn but he only has the 20w50.
That weight should be OK for my southern climate right? I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be, I'm using 15w50 now.
Just thought I'd start another oil thread this week and ask, just in case
Thanks!

I would suggest that you do a search for oil , as there are so many ideas on this is not worth trying to retype this kind of info, let us know what you find out

I use 20w-50 in Wisconsin, car is parked once the snow flies and comes out after the first rain.

I know this is a religious debate and I have no interest in revisiting any of that.
I'm going to use the Brad Penn, just was wondering about weight in my climate. Seems like 20w50 is fine so I'm off to buy 2 cases of it.
thanks

But but but.
Isn't 0-20 in Amsoil good enough?

I should have known better than to start an oil thread......
Anyway, I've changed it to Penn 20w50, it runs fine and that's it for me on this one.
According to the threads I've read the engine will either simultaneously explode for me using dino oil, or it will run til the end of time.
Guess I'll find out..... I've been using Mobil1 for the last 10 years of owning the car.
