Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

Gary is correct. A 0-30, 5-30, or 10-30 oil is a 30wt oil at operating temperatures. The only difference is the flowability at cold start up. A 0-30 will reach vital parts quicker than a 10-30 on cold starts. Until the federal mandate to reformulate the zinc and phosphorus, I used Amsoil 0-30 in my 63. I now use Amsoil 5-30 diesel/gas engine oil that has the correct amount of zinc and phosphorus in the additive package.
