(werd) Mobil1 10w30

You know, I'm considering switching oil weight according to season...like 5W30 in the winter/fall and 10W30 in the spring/summer. I wonder if that works out okay. I'd love some feedback if anybody here does that. Otherwise, I'm curious as to whether 10W30 provides sufficient lubrication on startup in the cold.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

i live in fl....10w30 year round lol

 

[TurbomanProtege]

yeah I also live in fla and always used 10w30 never had a problem

 

[livelyjay]

I live in cold climate and use Mobil1 5w30 year round, no problems.

10W30 is not very good in cold climat... i use 5W30 in winter and 10W40 in summer.

Hooked up PeaJays old unichip despite everyone saying it would run like crap because I have different mods and a relocated maf.

Suprisingly enough it runs great! Definately smoother power delivery plus some extra hp noted in the butt dyno. I am sure the difference will be night and day once I get it to altered atmosphere on the 30th.

PS. one of the easiest aftermarket installs ever!...of course I didnt hook up the EBC half of theunit cause I want my engine in one piece.

Installed Sirius....complete with the playboy channel (naughty) haha

 

[kamon8404]

^ gotta love chicks that dig playboy ..

 

[1moreMPH]

it didn't start today. So i switched it over again, and she tried to turn but backfired instead. 3rd time was the charm, but now i don't know what's wrong..

 

[low_psi]

I got fed up with the belts squealing, so I parked it in the garage where it'll stay for the next week. Yay, vacation.

 

[mspHtown]

after some beating and a 5 ton gear puller, got the driver side axle out of the hub.

not so lucky on the passenger side and ended up breaking the 5 ton gear puller. ended up taking the entire assembly out with the axle still in it. rust ftw...

 

[ItsSlow]

Looks good..

Same thing happened with my axles.. Although I left them in after getting pissed..

 

[SpcyOrngMSP]

well i'm kinda excited...the mod bug has bitten again... i have a 626 mani waiting to go in, a coldpipe waiting to go in to compliment my hotpipe, tonite i bought a catless midpipe, and last nite i ordered corksport motormount inserts, colder sparkplugs and a JDM familia badge... yessa

 

[peajay]

re-installed stock air box and piping. stock ECu couldnt compensate for the CAI with the colder weather : (
no $$ for EMS.
but hey, it's a lot quieter now....

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

easier fix would have been to make the CAI into a SRI...i've been running an injen "SRI" for years...
