94eg!

IHC: Out of curiosity, what viscosity would you recommend for my wife's 04 Pilot (same motor as TL). Mostly a grocery getter with occasional 7hr trips from Reno to Vegas at ~75mph? Temps haven't reached below 5*f and the thing sits in a garage anyways at ~40*f.

I ask because I'm heading over to Summit to pick up some Redline on my lunch break. And with all your advice, I'm no longer sure if I want to run 5w or 0w 20.

I hate cars

I would flip a coin. For the Vegas climate, the 30wt for sure. There's just no point to the 20wt unless you're gong to run it in very cold conditions.

So you live near Summit???

I moved to Reno now. Cold lasts much longer up here.

Looking on their website, summit only carries 5w20 in the gallon jugs. Should I mix 1qt 5w30 with 4qts 5w20 maybe?

I hate cars

That would work fine. Redline 5w-20 is a heavy 20wt anyway and with the high HTHS, it should protect better than most 30wts. From what little I remember, it gets very cold over there, at least from what I'm used to. I worked on Mt Rose installing a microwave shot a long time ago.

Oh wait, I see what your asking (I was thinking Summit ski resort for some dumb reason). Yes Summit Racing has a warehouse with a retail shop just a couple blocks away from my work in Sparks NV (kinda part of Reno).

Thanks for the advice BTW.
