I'm very curious as to what grade is most recommended in the B230 engines.
Especially one with 130k miles on it.
Something thicker? like a 20w50? Or a general 10w30 grade?
I live in a warm climate for 7 months out of the year. The other months it only gets down to the mid 40's on average.
I personally think that a 5w30 is too thin at full warmup for these engines.....but what is everyone else running?
