When warmed up, it should "supposedly" act like a 30 weight oil. I did learn a few months ago that having a smaller range is better and will probably start using 10w-30 in the summer.
my car is 11years old, that 5w shiit will run through it like water, just b/c it says 16thousand miles blah blah....doesnt mean shiit anymore, my car isnt new, my motor is running harder than it probably did the first year off the assem line, i take car of my motor, by doing it at 3K miles and so on.
