You would think at those temperatures he would use a 5W at the maximum if not 0W.
KilometersA great way to wreck an engine. Amazing it has over 300K miles on it.
I just realized that, still a great way to wreck an engine. And 194K + miles, is still not bad.Kilometers
We do? LOLCanadians tend to like thicker oil than us Americans it seems.
Might be this guy:Regarding the third example into the video around minute 4:30
He's running "regular" 10w-30 (presuming he means conventional), AND LUCAS OIL STABILIZER ...
Changes to a 5w-40 and adds Seafoam.
I'm gonna say it .... Idiot!
Right. Too many variables with which to screw things up.Regarding the third example into the video around minute 4:30
He's running "regular" 10w-30 (presuming he means conventional), AND LUCAS OIL STABILIZER ... then he changes to a "warmed" 5w-40 and adds Seafoam.

Isn't it an issue about pour point? Wouldn't that be all you need to worry about, to know you do or don't have a brick of frozen honey in your oil pan?One year after moving to Iowa I had put Mobil 1 10W30 HM in the 2008 TrailBlazer with the 5.3L V8.
It went down to -28F here one morning and I was worrying about getting to work that morning. It started up without a hitch as if was 48F.
Pour point isn't a very accurate measure of how well an oil will flow in an engine on a cold start. CCS (cranking viscosity) and MRV (pumping viscosity) are better measures, and these are what the W rating of the oil is based on.Isn't it an issue about pour point?

Yes, and CCS is usually what determines the Winter grade.Pour point isn't a very accurate measure of how well an oil will flow in an engine on a cold start. CCS (cranking viscosity) and MRV (pumping viscosity) are better measures, and these are what the W rating of the oil is based on.
There are people out there with more money than brains I guess.With all the brands of high grades synethics in many different weights,I am a bit confused why anyone would possibly want to damage their vehicle like that.
He owns a '97 Dodge, so I don't think so.There are people out there with more money than brains I guess.
Probably not, but you never know. Maybe he wants to kill it so he can justify a replacement.He owns a '97 Dodge, so I don't think so.
