Re: Slick 50 = Cruel Hoax?? what do you mean??? 200

10W40 would work fine for those conditions. I'm sure synthetic is amazing stuff, but really most of the pollutants in oil come from the combustion chamber (ever seen a engine running on propane? the oil never blackens if tuned correctly). Our older volvo engines were designed for the chracteristics of standard multi-weight oils, they tolerate the discrepencies, in fact they were engineered around them. This is not to say that synth is a bad idea I just wonder if it's worth the extra expense.
