Engine Oil for an HOT and HUMID Island
undefined
I've just moved to Saipan and I also brought my car back. This island is very hot and humid, its really freak'n hot here.
So, I was wondering what type of engine oil I should use.
Thanks

Hey I have family who are from Saipan/Guam, yes it is very hot & humid there! From what i recall, they use regular oil recommended from the vehicle manufacturers.

Laters!
