what oil weight do you run? 200

Gentlemen,

bobistheoilguy.com is frying my brain. toooooooo much there to read and I have been going through new & old posts for days.

Subject title says it all. I know what the manual calls for, but I know there are variations on the factory information.

Add to that what part of the country you live in and if you change weight by seasons.

I want to run 5w30 (maybe 5w40) in my b230. Anyone done that for some time?

Surely, I can do that in the Jersey winter. What about year round?

Anybody here use the German Castrol (0w30 -is that right?)?



Thanks.
