My car's front crankshaft leaks and I use 5w-30. It will only leave few drops at each parking spot. How thicker viscosity could I go? What is the HM variety? Where do I get these slow leaking high mileage oils?
Thanks

Considering the "rubber" timing belt is in the same area, it would be better to get the oil leak fixed and replace the belt too. They don't like oil.

Any parts store will have HM oils. They are made by Pennzoil, Valvoline, Castrol to name a few. Get 10W30, or even 15W-40 is it's available. Texas Parts Guy
