...cause that's what the book says.
That's what DMCH says, and what other vendors have said....
to use 20/50 in temps over 14 degrees F.

Next time I change it I will try some thinnner stuff.
I hate to dump $35 worth of new oil.
I also added a bottle of Lucus and some other motor honey I bought
at a car show... tou know the stuff where they show an engine running with 
no oil,
no water and no oil pan?
This guy had an engine running like this and selling this oil additive and I 
bit the hook.
Maybe it works, maybe not.

Hey, I also have a lot of Ron Popeil's stuff to.
Just set it, and forget it.
