hi there just wondering if its okay to move on from 10w-40 to 5w-30. currently my dc2r is not burning much oil when i previously used 5w-30 but im currently on 10w-40 and i thought it might be a little too thick. car is sitting on 140,000km atm.

Me daily dc2r 120k km 15w50 ^^ totally fine
why are you using 15w-50 on your dc2?^^
yes its ok, but why did u go to 10w40 in the first place lol
dont just drop the oil, change the oil filter as well since your changing oil viscosity.
and 15w50 is too think for a b18c7... and ur car is sitting on 120 only, which is low still. use a 10w40, eg royal purple
Because I'm chicken and like to play it safe!
safe from what?Quote:

If you're under the assumption that thicker is safer/better, why don't you go for a Penrite hpr 40
it's 25w-70
nice and thick, so it's safe.

well, I hope you realise that 15w-50 is too thick for your motor as well.Quote:

You should know that oil is sensitive for hot weather. In Australia better to use thicker than recommended oil.
