Motor oil.
I have an oil change coming up here soon in the 350 small block. Last time I was under there the old stuff drained out at darned near the consistency of water. It always does.
That was at around 2000 miles on the Mobil 1 5W-30 full synthetic that was in there. Mobil 1 is good oil, but I donlt think the oil itself is as good as their advertising department makes it out to be.
Reason I bring it up is because I'm really considering changing it up to Amsoil 10W-40, also full synthetic.
It seems to me that 10W-40 would be the best of both worlds in terms of winter and summer cruising.
Really, I had even thought about trying Mobil 1 15W-50, but not sure I wanna take a chance on blowing seals out. Might be risky.
