Standard starion requires 20-50 right? So the delo will be thinner at startup which is good, question is would 40 be too thin at operating temps?
Check the Forced Performance website as it has a list of oils with high zinc content.FWIW i'm useing BRAD PENN 20-50. It only comes in a carton pack for app$120.00 which will do 3 oil changes and is the one that David Buschur raccomends/uses
I've had mine since 03 07 92
85 JB 2323cc DOHC 4G63
THE OLDER I GET THE FASTER I WAS
GROWING OLD IS MANDATORY GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL
I used 20W50 as it was using oil (turbo seals) and was going through it quickly so was just using the cheap stuff which happened to come in 20W50. With the new engine I'm running it in on 15W40 running in oil then going to switch to 15W40 or 10W40 afterwards.
there is a sticker on the door of my car that says 5W30 can also be used in cooler climates.. It looks original to me, but i'm easily fooled. I will take a picture and post it if people are interested.

don't try explaining that to her tho..... just leave. lol
This makes me wonder what I should be running in my euro starion. I have used 20-50 but the last time i used 15-40. Engine has had all new bearings and rings but most else original.
