RE: VR6 Oil quantity (and weight) question

[Tim Irwin <timi@Interlinq.com>]

Depends on which side of the state you're planning on driving in. Western Wa
(Bremerton included) bottoms out at about 20 in a _really_ bad winter. Most
likely you'll see a low of 27-30 for a few days each year. Summer can reach
90-95 in a very hot summer. This year its peaked at a miserable 87 in
Seattle. Eastern WA can range from -25 (with 40mph winds) to 115.

I've run 10W-30 year around (Western WA) in most of my cars, though I'm
running 5W-50 synthetic in my wife's to try to help some lifter problems.

Subject: VR6 Oil quantity (and weight) question


Unfortunately, the literature I have seen lacks any firm indications 
of oil quantity for the VR6 engine. I have a '96.5+ GLX, and the 
filter is on it's way from the all-powerful Potterman. When it comes, 
I will need to know how much Mobil 1 Synth to put in, so if anyone 
knows, HOOK ME UP.
	 BTW, to all you Washington state listers (and 
other points Northwest), what weight do you use for the colder 
months? I use 10W-30, but I have only been driving in warmer (read: 
HOT) weather. Also, what does the weather look like there in say, 
Late OCT, early NOV, and into the rest of the winter? Thanks a bunch.
