we haven't had a good oilwar lately.
I doubt any of the Aussies ever turned one of these engines over when it's 10°F and you're running 20w50.
it's not a pretty sound.
then try it with M1 0w50 racing oil in the crankcase. bro, it's like starting the car at effing Byron Bay.
then it pegs the needle on the long trip to Florida (like the ultra deep brad purple 30w50 does).
thinking I might run M1 0w20 racing oil for the last 30 k miles before the V8....
wait. maybe I just did that.

As usual, nobody is saying use the wrong weight oil in whatever climate. For the millionth time, consult the Owner's Handbook. 30w/50???...

God, guys.... it's so simple. maybe you need a refresher course. it's all 30w50/60 nowadays.

the M1 racing oils are so good, they're hand-delivered by secret agents of the government.

(It has the same levels of ZDDP as the Mobil 1 Motorsport 15W50, and has a HTHS of 5.7)
It's 12,000 miles to freight it from the UK but I think it still works out as good value...
Cheers,
Mike

I'd be concerned with an oil that has a range from 10 to 60w. Can't possibly work like that.

To me that's like a Turbo advertising super low end response with killer top end power. Mabye VNT I guess....
