[QUOTE="xcrave, post: 613338, member: 21738"] I think for older engine should use thicker like 15W 40 BUT... Think of this... why stress the engine more with thicker oil? My Mech said that problem with loosing Engine oil are not going to be solved by thicker oil... Rather all the seals and o-rings (top overhaul) is needed... rather you spend extra money every time to top up... better do the right thing and keep the engine running pristine with the correct oil rating... This is just what i hear from the mech and so far my engine had never had any problem from loosing oil after ive done it. BTW CERA-Tec is enough for our 6.5/7l engine oil. just pour it after getting the right ammount. It helps to also seal those microscopic leaks was told and it really work... I use it in interval of once in every 2 service :) [/QUOTE]
