Re: 10w-40
You may experience problems when using a thicker oil and should strictly follow the manufactures recommendations.

Re: 10w-40
I think that some of you all didn't really answer the guy question but criticize the clerk,now I think the clerk is trying to say that the thicker oil wil flow slower and the thicker oil would be better,which I think is wrong the clerk should also try to sell him Oil seals or gaskets where ever the oil is leaking from and not try to stop a problem without dealing with the real problem,cause it can only get worst.
I use 20-50W in my car.

Re: 10w-40
it wont really slow the leak. only thing it might do is cause slug over time clogging the leak and other stuff

Dump a quart of lucas in. after 2 quarts of lucas my friends 88 nissan that leaked oil BAD (he had to add 1-2 quarts every days) is down to adding about a quart every 2 weeks. Dont believe the bs about lucas being bad for your motor/oil pump. It wont hurt a thing.

Re: 10w-40
nah, it intelligently selects leaking gaskets to seal instead of engine parts and oil passages

10-40 is not really much thicker than 10-30.
At room temps and cold weather, they both act like 10 weight oil.
Changing oil viscosity or adding those sealers is a terrible idea. Just fix the leak.1997 Chevrolet Camaro v6 - 13.8@104MPH
