[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 570216, member: 61743"] I'm willing to bet that [b]vk[/b] here really means 120k, since he (or she) is talking about use 10w-30 last summer and probably put on more than 120 miles since then. Sport Tracs call for 5w-30 year-round, it will be fine on that. #1, engines built in the last decade have tighter tolerances inside and thinner oil is preferable. #2, with modern oil technology, thicker is not necessarily good and thinner is not necessarily bad. If it does have 120,000 on it, run 5w-30 Max Life or another high-mileage oil and motor on. As cold as it gets in Toronto, a thicker oil would [b]increase[/b] engine wear. [/QUOTE]
