20w50 amsoil synthetic....bad choice?
Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2003 3:54 am
Hello all,
The person I bought my car from always ran amsoil synthetic series 2000 20w50 racing oil. He was from Texas, so its pretty hot down there. I live in vermont. I wouldn't run this in the winter, but I think about it in the summer. It seems pretty heavy, but it is a good synthetic, and its what the car has always had, so I am hesitant to switch to something else. He went with a similarly heavy oil in the gearbox. What do people think about this? What weight oil should I use?
Thanks
Micum
