RE: the problem with single viscosity oil
By Davy Gurley - 10/24/2002 10:26:30 AM; IP 209.40.144.68
The original question was how to improve the oil pressure. Heavy weight oils will do that. I agree that the oil may not drain back into the pan as rapidly as 10w 30 but if the engine is allowed to warm up before being driven, he should have no problems. I know we probably don't do it as we should, but we all will get better service life out of our engines if we let them warm up before throwing it into gear and drive off. This is why the manufacturers have gone to the thin multi-vis oils. The thin oils move through the engine faster to lubricate and they also enhance fuel economy. There was a good article about this in an issue of 'Mustang Times'. I think it was the april-may issue.
This thread, so far...
