On my six, I was using joe Gibbs 10x40, I recently switched to Kendall titanium 20x50, with added zinc
For the first time I drive the car after the oil change and my temp surged 20 degrees higher. It was not even that hot today. Is it the oil weight or the type? Correction : Kendall titanium high performance 20-50 |
