Interesting...
Right. So what weight do you end up with, 10W40?

Delvac 1 around here is $23/gallon. Delvac 1300 is $6/gallon. That's about $30 for oil per change compared to a full-synth change for $46-48 for oil. $16-18 more for synth oil that you get the benefit of 5 weight winter oil that starts easy and pumps up fast. Save $16-18 and still get "most" of the bennies. Seems like ALL the parts decisions with these damn things!
