It depends on the number of miles on the engine. I normally run 10-30 wt in my vehicles, but some people run heavier weights in high mileage trucks.

i run 10-30 in my 350. I havent dealt with junkers since I was a kid but I think the heaviest we ever put in was 10-40 and that was if it was a smoking pig that leaked in the driveway. lol

I happen to have a pen just like that. To bad I couldn't put my pen next to the dent.
