I've searched and I know the oil subject has been beat to death around here... But, why not make another thread to add to the searchable content? RIght? Right? Anywho, Used GT-40 (1300 hours) is headed my way that has been run with Valvoline VR-1 40 Weight since forever. I'm not a big fan of changing things but I have been to 5-6 different auto parts stores around my house and and office in the last week or so. Not a single one of them has it. Most have VR1 in 10-30 and 20-50 but none carry the 40. So, should I order some and stick with the same? Stick 40WT and use another brand? Stick with Vr1 and run a different weight? Thanks! Trey |

Edit: Nevermind I found 40wt at a napa a was out from my office but it was close to where I am headed for a meeting in the morning. I'll pick it up and order more later unless somebody talks me out of it. Thanks! Trey |

20-50!  Trey, Do you understand how a multi weight works? Google it and do some reading. The benefits are proven over what I consider to be outdated single weight. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Trey, I forgot to mention that I run it in all my marine engines. The 1977, 1964, 1954 and it's even in my 1927. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
