Re: what oil is recamended for 200k +
With all those miles there has to be some wear. How's the oil pressure
anyhow with the 5-30? If I lived there and wanted synthetic I would be using
10-30 as that's what was called for originally. My son and I both use 10-30
dino oil and neither use oil. His 96 is at 15K and my 99 is 96k miles.

Re: what oil is recamended for 200k +
Congratulations on your decision to use synthetic oil. It is probably part
of the reason you have 210K miles.
As for what weight oil to use there is no reason to use 5w-30 in San Diego,
you should stay at 10w-30 or perhaps an even heavier oil such as 15w-40 or
even 20w-50 because of your warm year-round climate and motor mileage.
Please note that use of the heavier oils may, slightly, lower your gasoline
mileage..

Re: what oil is recamended for 200k +
I use Vavoline Maxlife 10-40 in my 91 YJ 4.0L. It has 255K miles on it.
I've used Vavoline 10-30 since the YJ was new and up until 200K miles.
After 200K I switched to Maxlife. I went with the higher weight oil to
maintain the oil pressure above 45 psi. My YJ leaks more oil than it burns
and I'm down about a quart by the time I reach 3000 miles which happens to
be the time I change it.
