oil tech info

just FYI check www.mustangworks.com, in their tech
articles, drivetrain section, they've got a great
article not only comparing major brand oils but also
explaining tech & terms. Some surprising differences in
lubricating ability between some brands, especially
where ability to work in heat without breaking down is
concerned. Synthetics like Mobil 1 the best protection
for reasons they explain in article.

They do say that multi-grade ability comes from additives
and that 10W40 has more of those to make the "stretch" -
the more the less durable the oil - so that 10W40 is
not as durable an oil as 10W30, and they advise against
using it for that reason.
This thread, so far...
