Re: oil viscosity

[mozg <Christopher.Bodenlos@Colorado.EDU>]

	I'm from CT (in the summers), and I use AMS Oil 20w/50 in the
summer months, and 10w/40 in the winter. On my hot drive across the plains
this suemmer, my car ran steadily at 120, and could get up to 130 w/ AC on
mid-day. Ack.. it was soo hot :)  After 12 hours of driving, heat would be
*pouring* from the footwells.
