Hey guys, well my daughter has her 91 Cabby now in South Carolina.
The car had been here in Oregon and running 5-30...what would be the best weight for SC weather?
Thanks, MandysDad

i usually use 10/w/40, and top it off with 20/w/50 as needed.......as to make up for viscosity wear.

Pennzoil 20w-50.
Or if you are a synthetic user like me, I pour M1 15w-50 in almost all of my cars.It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

First time I have ever seen NY consider SC as a suburb. Originally Posted by teknikALLEN
