We drove from Belconnen to Royalla thru the middle of the storm. We were lucky to only get 5 dints in the hood. All the other vehicles at home were luckily under cover.

High mileage motor thicker oil?

Down here my old girl has 430,000 kilometers on it, we range from -15C to 45C. I have been running 20W50 for 10 years, just starting to notice the wear now when towing over 5000#.
