I was wondering what the differences are in the oil weight. Like 10w40, 10w30, 5w30 you get the picture. What do these numbers represent? And since I live in minnesota I hear running a lower weight is better durring the winter season?
BTW what oils does everyone use? I would use synthetic buy they are too pricey for me, so i'm using Valvoline Maxlife. |
