"" I remember living in more extreme climates where we would change to a lighter weight oil in the winter so that the engine would turn over and to a heavier weight in the summer to provide more protection in the summer heat. ""
TRUE!! But, that was then, this is now!!
Vehicles and lubricants have changed so much in the last 30-40 years!!
My Dad worked for Kendall Oil Co. They sold "Kendall - The 2,000 Mile Oil!". Back then that was really something to be able to go 2,000 miles between changes. Although I don't do it, Amsoil says that their Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil can go 35,000 miles!
My '64 GTO needed new spark plugs every 1,000 miles for top performance. Now many cars use 100,000 mile Platinum plugs.
I had new cars in Upstate NY then that rusted through in 2 or 3 years! I can hardly remember the last time I saw a rust bucket on the road!!
Today, with products like AMSOIL Series 2000 Synthetic 0W-30 Motor Oil , you can forget about those seasonal oil changes from 'the good old days'!!!!
