The secret is not to click, I never do, lol.And we're helping him with the clicks, just encouraging stupidity.
I’m wondering if there is possibly something wrong with his oil pump or oil system. Even with the 5w40 it takes a long time for oil pressure to come on, longer than I would have left it running to be honest.
Hinton,AB isnt very far from me and I’ve started many engines with 5wXX and 10wXX in those temps and didn’t have issues with oil pressure.
Canadians tend to like thicker oil than us Americans it seems.
0W20 in my Mazda 6 and Ford Focus.0W30 in my F150.
You would think at those temperatures he would use a 5W at the maximum if not 0W.
I found out that the WIX XP filters will leak around the roll crimp at below -25C.A few times I remember oil blowing out of engine seals all over the driveway during super cold starts and having to top up after letting it idle for a few minutes.

When it was below -20 I had to drive circles around the block at least twice so the transmission would shift on a Nissan. Otherwise it'd stay in first until it warmed up some.Another reason when it gets that below zero cold,to stay parked at idle,watch your guages,doesn't hurt to check under for any oil filter gasket leaks,before slowly driving away
If it pumps then it pumps. If it doesn’t and it undergoes shear-induced gelling around the pickup tube then the pump cavitates. This is what was happening in the 80s when a revision was made to SAE J300 in terms of how the winter rating was determined.I’m not entirely convinced of the binary characteristics of the oil.
The wax crystals will form pretty slowly at first and there is a transient period where the oil is less pumpable, but pumpable non the less.
2.5M cStLike dnewton pointed out, The real issue in those low temps is the addition of Lucas. Makes me cringe how thick that must be
Sounds like it could have used some HPL Blue CC… has a pour point of -81*F / -63* CWhen it was below -20 I had to drive circles around the block at least twice so the transmission would shift on a Nissan. Otherwise it'd stay in first until it warmed up some.
Mm delicious jello2.5M cSt
Except this guy is in Canada not the USA But the misspelled sign is funny.Might be this guy:

Some Albertans want to join the US though, lolExcept this guy is in Canada not the USA But the misspelled sign is funny.
Yeah - had to work in places like that - but don’t want to live thereThat's definitely block heater weather.
The guy with the Civic does,
