auto store parts guy returned oil comments
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.

Your problem is that you are listening to and and relating comments from a
"counter man".

That's why he works in a PARTS STORE and doesn't actually work on cars.
I wonder what he would say if somebody brought in some Mobil1 0W20....... Might have to use some 90wt to thicken that up....
