Gotta love spell check!

I change my oil filter any time I change the oil.

ISTO REmember that a good grade of 20w50 is probly what I want to aim for,but, I wonder if 10w30 might be better for a dry engine.  If you want me to start with a thinner oil and after 10 minutes of run time, change out to 20w50 I can do that to.  Maybe a cdhange of oil filter is advisable too.
