Re: Oil question

[Cheapass Ron <rapieper@yahoo.com>]

I've always followed advice that the closer two numbers, the better the
oil...i.e., prefer 10W-30 over 10W-40.  5W-50 seems to stretch it a bit
(all bets off for full synthetic) because of additives and whatnot.

Dad used to use straight 40 or 50 in old engines.  By that time, the
engine was pretty far gone, though.
