Oil weights
I was curious on which motor oil weights you are using on your subys and why. I was looking at getting answers from guys in hawaii only because we have a climate that does not change much throughout the year.


Thanks

I
use Redline 5W-30. Exclusively. I believe it allows a bit quicker spool and is still adequate for the job.
