T Rex Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 no significant problems. you're gas mileage might be affected negatively, though. I wouldn't imagine by to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 With a slightly heavier oil, you may want to see about running a larger filter. More surface area for a thicker oil to get through during cold starts. Extra filter area for dirt as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
