Thicker oil needed?
I have just noticed im losing oil lately. its a newer motor.
i have a small leak in my drain line that just arose, but its not losing that much fromt here.i just see a timy drop on it once and a while. but ive been noticing that its been lower on oil. i am currently running 10w30. should i go with something thicker? just seems like when i check the oil its kinda thin? i dunno if thats causing an issue with burning it off too easy?
Any info on how to know what oil viscosity and weights to use would be helpful ..thanks

i dunno.i never got the spec sheets on any of the clearances or anything.
does that make a diff in this case?

****, i wish i knew. Import builders did the bottom end work.
ive only been driving it in warmer waether and i know the oil is prob blazing hot.so thats prob not helping with the lower weight oil.
im wondering if like 20w50 would be too much .when i do drive it,its usually hotttt out, and i beat on it pretty good.

welli threw 20-50 in it today and the oil pressure went up. so i think the other **** was deff broken down and too thin. i didnt get on it yet though to see if i feel a diff
