If you<br \/>\nlive in an area where the temperature drops below 0 Fahrenheit this<br \/>\nis the the viscosity to use.

It\u2019s<br \/>\nimparitive the oil in the crankcase is pumped to critical engine<br \/>\nparts quickly. Higher viscosity motor oil actually makes the oil<br \/>\npump work harder throughout the rpm range.This costs efficienty and<br \/>\nhorsepower. Lighter viscosity oil \"adsorbs\" heat inside your motor<br \/>\nmore efficiently keeping internal parts cooler, and helps give you<br \/>\nbetter gas mileage.
