Edited on Thu Nov-20-08 09:27 AM by Rabrrrrrr
Since Valvoline et. al. haven't seen fit to make an autumn weight oil, what do I do?

Equal parts of each?

Or do I do it fractionally, figuring that Thanksgiving to Winter is 25 days and back to Summer is 65 days, so do I use a 25/90 to 65/90 proportion of winter/summer weight oil?

I mean, you might think I'm kind of dumb, and I am sort of laughing here about it, but, seriously, man, the last thing I want to do is use the wrong kind oil, if you know what I'm talking about.

4. Depends on the climate
If you're up in the far northern latitudes (North Dakota, northern Wisconsin, etc.), I'd just go ahead and switch to a 5W oil myself. Otherwise, 10W is usually fine.
