I've got 5w30 in mine right now. I was only going to run it for a few days to 'flush' because it's bulk oil, but no strange noises, so I'm gonna run it for a while. We'll see how the consumption increases with the lighter oil.

oh it will for sure
and i run 20-50 in all my yoda engines... i used to run 20-50 VR1 oil asper the engine builder advice, basiaclly he told me that all standard/cheap oil today it dirty and if i run it in my engine he was going to put his foot in my ass:haha:
i used to run straight hyperlube in my old motor, didn't make a difference on oil consumtion like i thought it would, i could still smoke out the school parking lot in a minute or so:haha:
Thanks guys for all the replies. (even the nissan ones) :awesomework:
I've been running 20w50 for the past warmer months, I'm just worried about the cold winters up here in b-ham and the cold start protection.
My 22re has quite a few miles on the bottom end, but it doesn't use any oil and it has fairly good compression. So the thought is possibly to run a little thinner of oil and help it out. My max drive is about 10 mins to work, other then my occasional 2 hour drive back home.

I have no 22 so i voted boobies. i usually run 20-50 for summer and 10-30 in winter.
If you look at any of the charts we don't really see temperature changes on the west side to require a change in viscosity. Now if you were at high-elevation or on the east side of the mountains where you see 100+ in the summer and single digit winters I'd understand it.
but for those of us over here why do you run different oils? Does it just give you a warm feeling inside to do it? :eeek:

Thats good info. I'll stick with my 3 to 1 20w50 GTX/Lucas :awesomework:
