<VV> oil question 15-50

[J R Read]

Hi Bob and Mark,

Thanks for your responses.  I guess that I was looking for confirmation that 
I was not making a mistake and you both seem to think the same as I.

Think I'll go back to AutoZone tomorrow for another 5 quarts.  Hope the 
special discount is still on where they lower the price AND throw in a free 
Mobil brand oil filter.  I took a filter for one of my non-Corvairs since if 
I did not take a filter they wanted to charge me full price on the oil.  Go 
Figure...

Later, JR

Hey J.R.

I have been using 15x50 semi blend synthetic for a while now and my daily
driver loves it. I don't think you can go too wrong with it

I know there are people that use the 15W50 in their not so tired
engines too, have done so for a long time, with zero negative effect.
I don't have a history with that heavier oil. The full synthetic is so
slippery that I suspect that it compensates for the higher viscosity
issues. No one seems to have over heating problems, in fact people
have reported a lower temp when switching to a full synthetic. Should
be fine. Mark Durham.
