Re: synthetic and conventional oil question

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Why 15w-40 or 20w-50?  You guys better back this stuff up because there is
NOTHING wrong with 5w or 10w and you just told this guy that he has to run
15w or 20w.  Think about this stuff people!!!  Besides, most synthetics are
thiner than regular oil so why would you recomend a thicker oil?  He never
said where he lives so he could live in South Florida where you'd want to
run a lighter oil for quicker oil pressure.  Just my opinion!!
