5W20 or 5W30?
 

Alright guys, I'll be topping up my oil soon, so here's the question:

My RX-8 manual says to use 5W20. I've heard of others using 5W30 oil as it's thicker. Which one is best? Also heard to stay away from synthetic oil so I'll be sticking with conventional. As for the brand, I'm thinking Castrol GTX, or is there a better brand oil to use?

5w-30
Castrol GTX.

Nothing wrong with synthetic, I simply choose to stick with conventional oil

Dude are you fucking serious??? I just typed "oil" into the search and got 1000 pages of threads about oil. I wouls imagine At least one of thoes threads was the exact same question you just asked. Just use water, seriously wtf

honestly, oil threads should be locked asap with a message to search and or just paste links to a few o fthe other threads.

Hahaha it is funny though. As soon as I read the topic I was like oh crap, this should be interesting. And you guys never disappoint. Good flaming.

what should happen like I said there shold be a certain number of threads(like oil type, warming up) about basics(stickies) that the noobs have to read before they are allowed to post THEN if they post something like this here noob we can IDK burn them at the stake! haha

Noobs!

Just add em together, DUH!

10w50.

You are so wrong, you're suppose to multiply the two sets of numbers then add them.

(5)(W)(20)+(5)(W)(30)
100W+150W
150W!

Sounds like a good plan! Wait! There are stickies! There is burning! it's already in place! Your the inventor! Awesome! :bowdown::yelrotflm
