 Oil viscosity I'm running Royal Purple 5w30. Concerned that it might be too light for our Louisiana temps.

Re: Oil viscosity People had problems in the past with modded motors running royal purple. It's hard to say it was from the oil or not though
Amsoil z rod is what a lot of people are using with success on nodded motors.
So if u want a high performance oil I would suggest Amsoil.

Re: Oil viscosity not sure if its good or bad but I run shell rotella SAE 30 in all my air cooled engines; mud motor, lawn mower, and my generator.

Re: Oil viscosity I use AMSOIL in everything. Just dumped the oil in my Civic after 15k and it wasn't even black.

Oil viscosity OP, no harm in bumping up to 10w-30 during the hot months.

Re: Oil viscosity $27.50 versus $10.00 per oil change, that leaves enough for a 12 pack and a bag of beef jerky.
