Aside from climate, todays engines were built with tighter bearing clearances for better fuel economy, thus using a 5 weight (5W30) is recommended. Older engines engineered with larger bearing clearances, or vehicles with high miles more than likely will achieve ideal oil pressures running with a 10 weight oil (10W30). Hope this helps... |
