Well I'll admit I was mistaken and misunderstood what I saw on YouTube from the Amsoil bloke . I'll still clarify with my mech. But looking at the vid Fu posted and my misunderstanding of terms that mean the same thing but just in a fancier way.Well that’s your problem then if you’ve been using a 30. A 30 weight is too thin IMO for an older engine and will burn a considerable amount of oil.
I know that was the case with my old SV6 which is why I changed it over to a 40 weight oil once it had about 150,000kms or so on it.
Yes.
Viscosity is the nerd term for thickness.
Plus the embarrassing moment where I thought the 5w in my shed was a 40 and not a 30. Been a good discussion and at the end of the day I learnt something.
