Our fleetanagement at work literally doesnt buy anything except 10-40 when many, many of our trucks say 5-30.

It's not my money or call, but what the fuck?

10W-60 works if you just only half fill it

its some ancient boomer meme where they use a thicker oil because it leaks less whenever its only leaking because they didnt maintain the shit correctly.

Might not leak if you hadn't put 10-40 in a 5-30 engine for 120k miles!

turns out it's low viscosity because it improves heat transfer and the fittings are just kinda fucked

manufacturers started specifying lower weight oil to improve MPG and do better on CAFE.

your "boomers" will continue to use heavier weight oil because they don't ascribe to engineered to fail.

Thicker oil would likely lower fuel economy, but actually protect the engine better. Got any in the fleet above 200k?

Nothing seems top make it much past 130k, maybe the diesels. My truck right now has blown a spark plug twice, and has a cracked block

I did an oil change on a concrete fleet truck on thursday that had 300k on it. It was a bit more than in rough shape, but it was still working. 5w-30 bulk exactly at the 3k mark.

i've always heard to up to 10w40 after ~200k miles to keep compression up with worn rings, been working for me at least. i doubt a heaver weight oil is bad for the engine in any way but i'd love to see some data if anyone has any
