I just hit 80,000 last week, do i need to start using the "high-mileage" motor oil?

 

I have seen those oils as well, but dunno how much difference they would make.

If you have Adobe Acrobat, here is an interesting link:

Note that at 210F, the SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds - a measure of viscosity) there in minimal difference between 5W30 & 10W30.

Also note the 10W40 is quite a bit thicker.

Here is the main page: http://www.quakerstate.com/pages/products/motoroil.asp

Pick the one(s) that interest you, and go to the product data sheet.

Personally, though, I'd probably stick w/ standard synthetic oils unless oil consumption has been an issue for you.

However, experimentation won't hurt anything, and you might be able to share some good data w/ the rest of us !




Later !
