"For Swepco, I meant 15/40, not 15/45.

For Mobil 1, I meant 15/50 or any other weight of Mobil 1.

"Other" is intended for other brands not listed. Just pick the closest weight for your brand."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I also clicked "other" before you edited your post for clarity. Couldn't go back and change it so your poll might be a little off.
Sorry !!

Andreas
This is a valid question. When I get my oil tested, if I can prove through analysis that my oil has plenty of additives left and very little wear after, say (using a hypothetical example), 5,000 track miles, then that would be an oil to love. I can thank Brant Giere for making me think about oil analysis.

I shoulda changed "Shell" to "Elf/Total," but unfortunately, you can't change poll descriptors

Lesson learned: make sure your poll is 100% correct before posting.

You didn't ask me and I don't look like Adrienne but I get mine online from Performance Oil Store. Their max shipping charge is $20 IIRC so I get 4 - 6 (5L) bottles.

Thanks, Bill. I checked out their site, but they don't list the 10w50. 50 weight works best here in South Texas.

BTW- I see you got a Pepper! Presumably with the seat heat you were looking for?

What about a 15w50? They have Elf Competition 15w50 5-liter on this page.

On the Pepper, yes, heated seats and more. Hauls butt!

Swepco 15W-40 at present...but waiting for Mr. Navarro's report on blending 2 Brad Penn multi-weights to see if a change should be considered.
