Re: motor oils
Was checking out my sisters new Subaru the other day. 0-16wt oil! Gotta be like water!
 The local Napa and O'Reillys has a huge selection of oils in weights I've never heard of. 30wt, 10/40, 20/50 used to be the norm.

Re: motor oils

Problem with NAPA and O'Reillys is their price gouging. Outrageous prices for just about everything on their sales floor, including motor oil. Wal-Mart is my goto for lubricants and other common automotive needs and shop supplies that they carry based on price alone. Example: Wiper blades. O'Reillys wanted 50 bucks minimum for a pair. Walmart sold me the same thing for 25 dollars. -Kevin

Re: motor oils
"High mileage" oils have an additive package that allegedly keeps old seals and gaskets from leaking or to leak less.
No information about what oil weight may be more appropriate for an engine with loose clearances is provided by anyone anymore. Remember WallMart isn't in the business of providing full line of anything but they are determined to sell only the cheapest quality, highest volume products.
