          If you have to use dino oil, at least spend a few more bucks and go for Quaker State or something decent. 20w50 is fine as long as you're in a hot climate, and probably is your only saving grace keeping up those oil films on bearings with that shit-ass oil. Unless you're leaking like a motherfucker tho and need to use it to slow that down, you should be using 10W30 or 10W40 in the summertime depending on local climate and engine condition.

              10W40 is what I would be using, but it wouldn't be that Autozone shit. Cheap oil evaporates and breaks down pretty easily so you might want to go on the safe side and use 20W50, seeing as you're in south florida and it's almost July.

              Anyway, stop using autozone oil ASAP, and go with at least Quaker State or some other good dino oil if you really are that fuckin' broke. Even if you use the best shit out there (RedLine) like I do, oil changes still only cost about $50 to do. Very cheap insurance for your engine.

                        I work for a bus company and they use 15w-40 high grade. you know the $$$ stuff and my boss uses it on his 84-86ish civic now since I have a decent amount of miles I'm gonna start using that stuff to see what will happend. I mean the honda 5w-30 is cool stuff. but I think its a little to thin for motor. just my .2

                          I use Catrol Syntec 5W-30, and after a while using it, the engine revs easier.
