[Shotimes] RE: [Shotimes] Driving in -10oF with 10w-30 oil

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

I still stick by my original premise that oils with a viscosity modifier
spread of greater than 20 points are unstable.  I was told this by a
scientist that works for Mobil. (and it wasn't twenty years ago either so
don't start telling me that they have "improved" things since then).  I will
use nothing but 10W-30 in my SHO and Dino oil to boot.
