Re: FS: My turbo stuff

If it gets below -20c where you are (I know it does here in Quebec wink1.gif), you should use a 5w30 or 5w40 oil. 10w30/40 is rated for -20c min, where 5w30/40 is rated for -30c.

Windchill is not a real temperature, it's just "how it feels" but actual air temperature is whatever the temp is.

But dito on what Agarwal said. 5W-30, you'll be fine.
