Re: Amsoil Question?
I ran 15W-40 all winter last year no trouble. Although I have a heated garage which helps.

Re: Amsoil Question?

Re: Amsoil Question?
15w-40 is great for temps over 0.
if he lives where it gets below 0 quite often then you could run the 5-30 hdd. it provides the same protection as the 15-40 just better in the cold. i ran it last winter and loved it when it was cold out. started great

Re: Amsoil Question?
Since you live in Michigan, go with the 5w-40. It will turn over much easier when the temps drop. I run 5w-40 year round, but not Amsoil. Since I travel a lot, I use Mobil 1 because its much easier to find on the road.
