    10w30...20w/50 isnt needed unless its starting to burn oil...plus you'll be giving up a tiny bit of HP cuz its a lot thicker than 10w30

      5W-30 or 10W-30, no thicker than 10W-40.

      You need nothing more than 10W-30 for all year protection, and yes there is a such thing as too thick and too thin of an oil.

        Whoa, I would never use 20-50 unless I burning oil. Just use 10-30. Thats what is recommended for the 3.8.

          WOW! [img]graemlins/omg.gif[/img]

          20-50 is to thick for the tolerences built in the motor.

          I wouldn't vary much from 10w-30 (i.e. 5w-30 or 15w-30) [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
