Okay, I have gotten conflicting advice and now I need
to be straigtened out.

What Oil should I use?

One person says "Use only SAE 30"

Another says "Use 20-50.  30 breaks down too fast"


Based on the first advice, I've been using
30 weight oil the whole time.

What do I need to know about oil before taking a
loaded van on a 3000 mile trip?

Is there something else I should know about oil
for a daily driver type3 in Texas in the summertime?

Thanks!
