    I'd simply mix it 50/50 with 0W20 during hot summer weather. :)

    Too heavy.

    2.7 uses 0w20 or 5w20 (check your oil cap)
    4.0 uses 5.30.

    Sure I am. :)
    Mixing would yield 0-30 which would be just fine in really hot weather. :thumbsup:

    The 0 is the most important part as that determines the flow at cold start. That's where all the wear is. Once the oil pressure is up all of the moving surfaces have been coated there is essentially no wear.
