i didn't think that anything outside of the spec'd weight's would effect the hla's operation....but possibly...

other then a brand preferance all oils now availible are ment to meet the needs of an engine 12+years old...

high rev motors usually take 10w30 or 5w30 in cold climates...

I run QuakerState Full Synthetic 5w50..I also never drive at under 3000rpm...I go for the sticky effect to prevent possible lack of oiling...

If i upped my redline to 7500 or 8000 i'd drop back to 30weight just to keep things smooth...you don't want to much fluid resistance in a splash oiled motor..
