Default WalMart has nearly every oil. Truckstops have Mobil Delvac, a well-engineered oil.

If you see temps below freezing, a 20w may not crank. Good cold flow will reduce the main cause of wear, cold start-up. 20w-50 is weak sauce.<ul><li><a href="http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=005358#000001"> http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=005358#000001</a</li></ul>
