so i dropped off a cubie of used motor oil m-1 5-40.

the counter guy takes the container in back and i fill out the log. he comes back.....

"have you gone a long way on that oil'? he asks.

'maybe 5000 miles. I added a couple quarts(should have been one, ooops) recently, why?"

"it looked thin"
"thin"

"yeah maybe next time you should add a quart of 60 wt to bring up the thickness"

"o, okay but it is synthetic, from a diesel engine(i thought it was the soot he was gonna tell me about)

'no it was too thin for that long"

actually it was 44hundred miles.

isn't m-1 5-40 supposed to be thin? i thought thick was bad.

help me.
