Post by: DavidLaver on 28 September, 2010, 10:37:34 AM I had a quick scan up and down - the bit that jumped out at me was "While starting up your car at 75 F, mid-winter in Florida".

But caught sight of a recommendation 10-60 for racing ferraris which is what I put in my "racing" (haha) HF! Tim Tim, I think you may have to read a little more as there are a few recommendations and as ever 'it depends' as far I could understand (yes I did manage to read most of it before going for a coffee break). It is a shame it is written in such a long winded and serious, text book style as the points he is making are quite interesting, especially the comments about oil going off just standing around in the garage/engine, and the issue when starting from cold about using a lower viscosity (at low temp) mixture to reduce startup wear on the engine. Also the test at the end makes the whole thing feel like a pre run to a published paper for academic use. Anyone fancy producing a summation in say 20-40 lines?

He needs a tee shirt saying "don't get me started". David Title: Re: oil................... Post by: thecolonel on 29 September, 2010, 10:28:26 PM All very well but, should I still be using Comma 20/50 (£9.00 a Gallon) in my Gamma ?
Title: Re: oil................... Post by: rogerelias on 30 September, 2010, 03:05:24 PM I will still use 3 in 1 inthe dash pots on the MGC ;D ;D
Title: Re: oil................... Post by: DavidLaver on 30 September, 2010, 03:55:48 PM That's the right spec for a Gamma on a Thursday afternoon between tiffin and cocktails. More than that I can't say without running the numbers with the Met Office and McClaren. David Title: Re: oil................... Post by: thecolonel on 30 September, 2010, 07:05:24 PM I wouldn't bother with Mclaren, I sent them an idea and they couldn't be bothered to reply.
----------- I do have a 10 gallon drum of something which smells a bit oil'ish so I'll shove that in....... (all the labels fell off years ago) |
