hello everyone,
i am really sorry to start this oil thing again. the thing that really got
me going was when i called the dealers in michigan (i called 5 of i believe
7 total) and got different responses each time. to reiterate what they
said:
1. 5W30
2. 10W40
3. 5W40
4. 10W30
5. 15W40
these were all responses to the question "what synthetic oil should i run
year round (or seasonal) in my '89iX?" i wonder if i would get the same
responses if i called each of them again. anyway, after reading all of the
posts and reading the redline website on their oils i have decided to go
with 10W30 year round (redline). being an engineer myself and understanding
all that viscosity stuff i realize that the real wear is caused by startup
(especially cold). i feel confident that with frequent oil changes my car i
will be fine. if this seems to create a problem i will switch. or i guess
if the climate changes. nuff said. good luck with your choice.
regards,
jack
