Re: [Amc-list] Where has all the 20-W-50 motor oil Gone?

 The plus 40 weights are a trade off. While I agree that a 30 + oil is
 great for summer time. There is a trade off.

I don't agree, it is 114 today, I been driving all day on combination
freeway and city, speed limit 75. Typical of my driving, the engine 
runs measurably cooler 'specially in comparison to "factory recommended 
winter grade oils for fuel mileage purposes". Been doing it for 
close to 20 years on brand new and brand new rebuilds and all 
other engines. I get upwards of 300,000 miles with no oil related 
problems, but the biggest is,  I can see the difference on the heat 
gauge. 
The last oil burner I owned was the last N.E.  car I owned before 
I moved out of the snow belt in 1978. At about 800 miles per 
quart at 100,000 miles I would call it an oil burner.
Still looking for 20-W-50, I use it year around.
My engines don't use oil between oil changes.
This stuff disappeared over night, not tapered off. I don't usually 
make the word conspiracy appear in my vocabulary but this one 
is making me think it.
John.
