It is basically formulated for some of the new honda and bmw vehicles (and some others) with extremely low tolarance engines. some of the newer engines have manuals that specifically ban heavier oils in the engine as seal blowers. I might look at it for cold climate use but not in everyday use in warmer climes for aircooled engines. there is also a 5w20 and 0w30 from some other brands. jimt > Whats the lowdown on this, on saw it in a garage yesterday, says its > ideal for 'any' engine! > Anybody using/tried it? |
