    That’s an open sort of question. Climate, mileage of the engine (fresh rebuilt or high mileage) plays a big role in determining grade. 10-40,15-40 and 20-50 are all good for types of conditions.

    20W-50 in the summer, 10W-40 in the winter but above all else, make sure that the oil has ZDDP!

    There are some oils on the market that have ZDDP, others on this forum will know them off the top of their heads. I buy the stuff (ZDDP) from Moss and add it in when I change the oil. That way I KNOW it's in there.
