      no you don't

      you run SAE 50, which is a bad idea anyway

      the "w" stands for winter, not weight

      and everyone needs to read the PO's post. He doesn't have an internal coolant leak, its and external oil leak. No real "fix" for it short of replacing the headgasket. Just keep the oil topped off...

          My bad, I didn't even read the whole OP and notice it was oil related. NM my previous post, and I don't know what the hell that guy is saying about those tabs, been using them for 12+ years in the automotive industry, and at GM dealers regularly as part of a few service campaigns.
