Default Mobile 1 0W30, or 5W30 in a pinch...

For the summer I don't think the 5W30 would make much of a difference, but I'm going to run 0W30 in the winter...

FYI - Mobile 1 0W30 19.95 at NJ BJ's, 5W30 $23.

I agree with the oil weights, but I'm going to go with Amsoil next time.

does 0w30 give enough protection at temps over 250?

Default YES! All the Formula 1 teams are switching to Amsoil next year, too!

NOT!!

Heheheh. Just kidding, no offense to Amsoil users..... I just prefer Mobil 1 0W-40.

Default Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Series products protect engines up to 246°C (475°F).

If it says so on the net, it has to be true...<ul><li><a href="http://dallnd6.dal.mobil.com/GIS/MobilPDS.nsf/26b7c4b33367a4a086256665004e4266/9337c5cedcf5e32e852567b60056db77?OpenDocument">htt p://dallnd6.dal.mobil.com/GIS/MobilPDS.nsf/26b7c4b33367a4a086256665004e4266/9337c5cedcf5e32e852567b60056
