Its getting warm here and the boats are getting dusted off, today I was looking at my gallon of rotella 1540 and I was thinking about running the boats to see how hot the oil gets in them. Then I had the thought of,
"is it better to base oil wt on actual oil temps or (app spec)"???
Not really just for boats, but I was curious about everything really...
Like, if it were -40 here today I'd most likely use 0w20/30 in my truck instead of 5w30
I added an oil cooler to my motorcycle a few weeks ago, im expecting my oil to be 200° at hottest if its only getting to 165° in the low 80°s we've had....
What does everyone think? Ya or nay?
