Read the fine print on the back, if it has a sf rating it is better than anything available when it was new. If not I wouldn't use it. <br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;">15w40 is what I use, but mostly because it is easy to find. </div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div id="sig11221025"><div class="signature">-- <br></div><div class="signature"> Henry Miller<br></div><div class="signature"> <a href="mailto:hank@millerfarm.com">hank@millerfarm.com</a><br></div><div class="signature"><br></div></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div>On Sun, Jul 4, 2021, at 10:03, Howard Fleming wrote:<br></div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div>Happy 4th all.
