What weight oil should I use??
Hey everybody,
I have the car in the sig with almost 178,000 miles. I am going to buy Royal Purple oil, but I am not to sure what weight I should get. I usually buy 20W-50 because of the high miles my car has, but is that too thick?? Any responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks

20W50 is a bit high for a street car. Could go with an XW40 with the miles you have. But if your oil pressure is fine with a 10W30 there is NO reason to not run it.
