Transit van oil?
« on: 12 August 2010, 22:58:57 »
Hello, I'm doing a few quick oil changes on my dads 2003 transit van with the york 2.4 engine to flush it (hasn't been done for a while). The specified oil is 5w30 apparently. Anyway as I've got loads of GM 10/40 on TC does anyone think there would be any problems using that? I'm doing one tomorrow, then again after 500 miles or so. Thanks.

edit..

dont think it will be a problem this time of year.

thick oil in winter 5w to 10w might affect starting. :y

My CBR engine regularily spins at 13,000rpm with VX 10/40 in it so I cant see it being a problem in a Tranny engine. ;)

If you do regular changes and not the intergalactic distances between changes recommended by Ford then GM semi will be fine all the time :y

That's brilliant! VX 10/40 it is then!

Thanks everyone
