The Motor Oil Bible states that 5w20 will not provide enough protection when compared to 5w30. See excerpt below.

just get 4 quarts it should be plenty. i think it takes around 3 but you should never just pour it in and hope its the right level. you need to check the

oil pressure is under i think 7.5lbs of oil pressure. they call it the dummy light because if its on and the sensor is functioning the way its supposed to be it basically means replace your motor. because any motor under 7.5lbs oil pressure...

Hey guys I don't really know where to put this thread so I think this would be an okay place... Anyways I was wondering what the most effective way of removing deeper scratches is? I know waxes and stuff remove swirl marks but is there anything better?
