OK - 1st of all, Mindspring net email stinks. I cannot figure out how hitting
the tab key (to jump to a new field) can (occasionally) send an email. It
defies logic.
2nd thing (and the reason for the 1st blank email) - We've been over this
before, but I'm having a senior moment. Which is the better multi-viscosity
oil to use in the winter: 10W-30 or 10W-40 for a normal vehicle (as compared to
the Midget, which gets Syntec). I remember the whole "A 10W-40 acts like a 10
weight oil when cold, and a 40 weight when hot", explanation, but that doesn't
tell me which is better during winter (if, in fact, winter has any effect on
the 10W part). When the car warms up, is it better or worse to run 40W vs. 30W.
This is for my '87 300ZX (the station car).
Tks,
Graz
PS. Notice I didn't ask how to winterize an LBC, though. Funny thing about
garages. I find that I use the car much more during the winter (without snow,
of course, and with the hardtop on (no comments, please)) than I ever did when
it was just sitting at the front of the driveway in Brooklyn. But this weekend
(unless the SO changes plans again) will be rear brake weekend. I think the
car will stop much better if I had rear brakes as well as front brakes ("Going
is an option, stopping is not" someone on this list once said).
