temperatures. Useof synthetic oil does not alter required oil
changeintervals.
SAE30: 40°Fand higher (5°C and higher) isgood for aii
purpose useabove40%, usebelow 40°F will cause hard
starting.
18W-30:0 to IO0°F(=18to 38°C) is better for varying
temperatureconditions. This viscosity improves cold weather
starting, but may increaseoil consumption above80%
(27%).
