hey guys i have an old 89 civic beater i deliver pizza in, my car runs constantly any given night for about 4-6 hours, would i be better off at 10w30 or 40?

 

valvoline maxlife 10w30 or 10w40 depending how hot it is

 

I always stick with the regular 5w 30 Valvoline or the Max life. 10w is too thick IMO. Use what Honda uses as far as weight is concerned. Plus most Honda dealers get the regular Valvoline in bulk.

 

My friend who works at Pizza Hut told me they make oil specifically for delivery drivers. It's in your cooking aisle.

 

Use M1 0w-40, It's an ACEA A3 oil. When used with a good filter, That stuff is good to about 8k mi.

 

stick with 5w 30. its good for the bearings unless it has hell of miles then start using 10w.

5w and 10w is just the difference in the pour point in colder weather.. has <u>nothing</u> to do with being bad on bearings.

Don't laugh....I really can run that in the fuel tank of my Benzs by virtue of them being diesels

 

whatever you decide on, buy in bulk. when i delivered, i ran ~500 miles per week. that's 2000 miles a month. oil changes add up quick.

 

I use 20w-50.

 

10w30 or 10w40 should be the only ones you should use, all the others are too thin. Mainly the newly engines need finer and thiner oils but our old engines prefer the thickest.

 

I'm a delivery driver on Mondays for villa Roma. a local pizza place i work for and i use 10w30 full synthetic

 

Pizza hu???
(Use 4.0 QRTS. of regular 10w-40, with .5 qrt. of a 20w-50.This works well in my d15b2 and you can actually feel somewhat of a difference in an economical way)

pour point is another way of saying thickness.

it has to do with how cold a "cold start" is in your area.

 

it really doesnt matter much.

 

just use 10W30 if you go with 10W40 its only gonna make a difference when the oil is cold. Some one already kinda touched on this basicly the numbers are how thick it is in different temps first number is thickness at warm temps and second is thickness when the oil is cold. So if you go with 10W40 its basicly like having straight 40 weight when its cold outside untill the motor warms up then it becomes straight 10 weight. And it wont affect the bearings untill you go to thick i.e. 20W50. There is NO reason to go that thick in regular gasoline motor unless its on its last leg. Heavy oil like that will make your car loose power and gas mileage so who ever said that mixing two heavier oils and said he could feel a difference is either full of it or his car was a POS and he dosent feel the knock anymore.
