what oil weight to use? 200 any

posted by  someone claiming to be Rob on  Wed Oct 10 05:03 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Coming up on an oil change, and i'm wondering what weight to use. right now i run 10W-30. i live in Pennsylvania, and it's quite chilly in the mornings. I do 100+ miles a day, so really only one cold start per 100 miles of driving. the 10W-30 leaves me little dark liquid lovenotes on the driveway that I don't like. I have to add a quart every few hundred miles. I am a fulltime college student and don't really have the time to go tracking down a leak. just wondering how thick of an oil i can use and not get in trouble. I run Volvo filters, and avoid the "orange kiss of death" Fram filter at all costs. -rOb
