Re: oil viscosity

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

Yeah that's OK. As long as it doesn't go below like 10 deg F, I think you're
OK. Look in the Bentley or in your owner's manual for the recommended oil
viscosity and temperatures. I believe that 20W50 is OK from 10 degrees on up,
but I'm not quite sure. It's somewhere around there.
