Originally I was gonna stick with Mobil 1 15w50 full synthetic, but with the $30 A mazon gift card I got for Christmas, I decided with the engine fully and freshly sealed up with modern gaskets and such, let’s experiment.

Fun fact, 10W-60 is the specified oil weight for the McLaren F1. Imagine how unobtainium that stuff was 25 years ago.

The recommended oil on my ‘73 CL450 is 10w40, so I wouldn’t think 10w60 would be that all hard to find in the ‘90s. I run 20w50 in my tuned up Honda’s and that stuff has the consistency of honey on chilly mornings.

I run this stuff in my M3. It is eye wateringly expensive

Thanks to the gift card, I only ended up paying some $35 for 6L. :p

That is a good fun fact! I will use it as an icebreaker one day.

After I sold my 944, I learned from my friend who I sold it to why you shouldn’t use 20w50 year-round.
