Thicker oil?..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Thu, 13 Dec 2007 12:35:30 In Reply to: Bummed about my 2003 2.0T, Brian, Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:25:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Can anybody speak to the possibility of using thicker oil? I was under the impression that the weight of oil recommended by the factory is determined more by fuel economy requirements than actual lubrication requirements.
I've had vehicles where oil consumption was significantly reduced with 20-50 vs 5-30. But that's in SoCal too where the weight of the oil isn't so important.
