Re: What Weight Oil for Build Motor
You can probably use 10w30, since it's not very loose. A thicker oil doesn't equate to a tougher oil. The reason is the viscosity gives you less flow overall, less efficiency. It will also sap a sliver of power. On my loose D16 (on the edge at .0018) I use conventional 10w40 for a little more oil pressure, but only when it's very hot. I still get >30mpg, so don't worry about the negatives much.
