Hi,
Are there any potential issues to look out for when changing from one grade of oil(10w60) to another grade (10w40).
I am just worried that a different grade of oil may adversly affect wear on components or behave differently in oil ways , oil pump etc.
Also, in terms of internal gaskets etc, how do they cope with different grades?
I ask these questions as my car is on 56kmiles and as far as I am aware has used 10w60 all its life.
I have been chatting to a few people (namely OILMAN) and he suggests usinga different grade.
I appreciate your comments.
