Re: [Amc-list] Oil weight?



Temp here usually hangs about 0 to -05* at it's worst.
The American doesn't see those temps in operation though. The worst it usually see is about 35-40 out it. Once it gets colder I put it to bed.
  I'm thinking the light weight oil will provide lots of splash and pressure needs are actually pretty minimal to float the bearings and such. There'd be lots of splash!
   I'll probably pass on it though.
I'm hoping to actually drive it to work tomorrow. It hasn't moved since July.
