Eh i know my subie takes 5-30 but would 5-50 be ok?

 

no.

 

LOL well i guess that settles it. I just wanted to try that new TRust F2 oil, but after reading about it i thinks its for like full on race cars.

 

thanx

 

dude, i'm telling you, $35 for 5 quarts of Mobil 1 5w30 + a Mobil 1 oil filter is more than your car knows what to do with.

 

Whats better OEM mobile1 or the K&N oil filter?

 

No!


the first number doesn't matter as much, but make sure the second number is 30 =)

 

you ran 40 weight in your old motor, LOL.

 

I wonder why....



p.s.... the W in oil stands for winter, not weight

 

:rotfl: owned

 

Sweet Thanx doods!

 

synthetic ftw

 

thanx genious. i know what the W stands for, and i stand by what i said.

EDIT:

"The way that oil viscosity is referred to is by its weight. In this case, "weight" refers to the thickness of the oil and is usually measured with a Zahn cup. Any liquid has some viscosity and that viscosity changes depending on its temperature. Usually, viscosity (thickness) decreases as temperature increases. This also is true of engine oil. Engines need a thin oil at startup, so that it can get to the engine components quickly, but it needs a thicker oil when the engine is hot because a thin oil becomes too thin. This is why engine oils are supplied as dual-grade weights. When you see 10W-30 on a quart of oil, it means that it acts like 10 weight oil when it is cold (the "W" means winter, say -10^C), but acts like 30 weight oil when hot (100^C). This is not to say that it is actually thicker when it is hot. Hot 30 weight oil is thinner than cold 10 weight oil. Even so, it still helps provide the benefits of both types of oil depending on its temperature. So 0W-30 oil acts like 0 weight oil when cold, but maintains a 30 weight viscosity when hot. Think of it this way: when your engine is hot, there is basically no difference between 0W-30, 5W-30, and 10W-30 oil. They are all acting like 30 weight oil at this point. It's at cold startup, when almost all engine wear occurs, that the viscosity is different. The 0 weight oil will get to the engine components quicker than the 10 weight oil, but in reality cold 0 weight oil is still thicker than hot 30 weight oil. On the other hand when the engine is cold, there is no difference between 10W-30 and 10W-40 oil. However when the engine is hot, the 10W-40 oil is thicker than the 10W-30."

kthanx, have a nice day.

 

who got owned???

 

you by john for him saying "p.s.... the W in oil stands for winter, not weight "

duhh....
