Want to preserve this thread.....
3/14/21
Whos using Motul 8100 5w40? Still Dexos 2. Read good things about it... Dont usually choose French products for their high quality. Looks to be readily available.
Street driven 2ss, will be driven 12 months in NE. (Maybe.. Might get a beater...) Sub freezing temps. Commute of 15 minutes each way on back roads. (Not quite adequate full temp runs) Never driven really hard as the wifes commuter...
But Ill be blowing the gunk out whenever I can.
I always use the highest quality lubes in all my vehicles. This new Camaro purchase, and the 0w 40 recommendation has me reinvestigating everything on the market.
I originally intended to use the same Valvoline 5w 30 I use in my 6.2 Ford truck engine. I dont know how I feel about the 0w... Id be more comfortable with 5w 40.
I agree with the statement that I would rather replace my cats a bit early than have lower lubricity in my oil to save the damn cat. But Ill use Dexos to preserve warranty. Maybe throw some additive in...
Right now Im looking at the Motul because it seems to cover all the baces.
