What is the benefit of straight weight?
I change every 5 to 8 hooks. Depending on when the oil changes from the greenish blue color, and starts getting a hint of black in it.

With the exception of Royal Purple these are all brands I've never heard of or seen locally at any parts houses, where do you guys buy these brands? I'll be looking for some better quality oil after the new motor goes back in my pulling truck next year.

 

[LAmiller]

I buy mine locally through Glockner...

For what its worth, Josh@Woodruff runs this in the OhioCat trucks and doesn't see anywhere near the wear on main bearings as he did with other oils.

Brad Penn...in your backyard...lol

 

[wdimig]

so the benifit from running 20w50 over 15w40 is better wear protecion on the bearing and such? does it make a big difference running this in the winter months??
