is it a bad idea to run it in my VQ? I probably wouldnt in the winter because its so "thick" when cold, but if i ran it when it gets warmer out would it be bad?

 

I have a bit of oil consumption, and was thinking maybe this would cut down on it a little.

 

thoughts?

I ran it for awhile. Expect lower fuel economy, but it shouldn't hurt anything. I ran Delo 400 for YEARS in my Z24 and got compliments on the wear in the head when I had it rebuilt. If your oil consumption is coming through the valve seals, which I would guess it is, the thicker oil will not reduce it as much.
