What do the numbers mean with motor oil?
Donkey_Kong:
See, now thats me looking for some Lucas oil for my truck that has almost 200k on it. They should give me a quart though cause I didn't get my friendly neighbor tickets last year to the Nationals!! Nope, they rattle my windows but i can't quite see 'em.
:angry:
During Nationals, about every 7 minutes I get an Earth Shattering
BWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPP
Except it is way bigger and louder than that. Seriously. Have you ever witnessed a Top Fuel Dragster in person? Betta have some earplugs man!

Did you look in your manual? You're talking about your Civic, right? They may actually tell you to go to 10 in certain weather conditions. Your car won't assplode, but you'll add an incremental amount of wear. Nothing that'll break your car down YEARS quicker, but mebbe a week/month earlier. Meh.

that is so awesome, I'd love to have a house near a strip. I go to the NHRA Supernationals each year in Old Bridge, NJ and I love it to death. I love bringing people who have never been to a race before, and forgetting to tell them to put their earplugs in for the first Top Fuel or Funny car run.
They never forget it.

I have went over a watched them a few times up real close. It is pretty crazy. I don't consider myself a huge fan, but the sound I have come accustom to. I actually don't mind it. The racing is synonymous with summer, and when you hear that ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Well lets just say...You know you are ALIVE!!

having grown up in the tropics i can tell you both of those would be too thin in pretty much the top two thirds of oz! drews right, often theyll recommend a grade for winter and one for summer. that 5w-20 is mighty thin so that would be a really cold winter oil. the oil im using right now for instance is 20w- 50!
if you dont have a users manual, id ask the local dealer of your car...
