Oil Weight Survey

Ok sorry to sound ignorant here, but what exactly do i need? I went on their site and there is a butt load of products. I do run synthetic and what does that 1 quart of lucas oil do? what are the benefits?

its an additive that helps the oil bold better to the surfaces, sort of like synthetic, i guess if you already run synthetic you wouldnt see much benefits, but i'm sure it wouldnt hurt.

Summer - I run Valvoline 10W-40

Temps on average range from 0 - 95 (farhinheit)

I wouldn't be too sure of that....

If one wants better retention of oil to the metal parts, an oil with a fair amount of PAE basestock is how I would accomplish this.
I am not a fan of additives.

Good luck.

Mobil1 15-50 or Casrol Syntec 20-50 depending on wich one the store has 8 quarts of (expensive oil change). I usually put 10-40 in the car in the winter, but it's not driven, just turned over occasionally. Temps in summer average 75-100, winter can be -20 to 30.
