Reply to "How to Select Motor Oil"

larrysullivanMember

I am concerned about change intervals. In MN, we have +40 C in the summer and -40 C in the winter. I prefer PAO based lubes as one cannot trust the quality control of Base I-III oils. I drove 400 miles at +47 C ambient air temp with AC full blast (inside + 24 C) and a strong wind and sun. Tell me if a mineral oil can stand up and take that abuse? In Europe, they seldom have weather conditions that we in North America experience. Give me PAO or synthetic esters anyday for my car.
