15-15 ? Pretty narrow range of viscosity, there.

Wow. I didn't think you had it in you to be a smart ass, Vlad. ;)

Oops

Absolutely. I've been running straight 30w oil but after giving it some thought, straight

30w is probably better suited for engines that run at a constant RPM like farm machinery or airplanes or as mentioned, in an area where the climate stays the same.

No, not at all. Syntec used for 12 years now in all vehicles. Mostly

5/50 but also trying 5/30 right now.
