XS650, I was not talking about Australia. I was replying to the guy who asked what oil is used in Saudi, Kuwait, and in Uncle Sam's Mid-Eastern Humvee's. The Mid-Eastern Humvee's I don't know, but I'm informed that the local citizenry use Mobil 1.
need help: What oil does Ford Australia recommend in the modular V8's?

The "down there" threw me, anyone who has studied geography knows that Kuwait is "over there", not "down there"
Humvees were also designed to operate in Kuwaiti type temperatures. Their oil temps should also be reasonable for 15w40 in Kuwait.
Well, if that's the case, I wouldn't want to even visit there.
FWIW, my mother lives in Alice Springs, right in the geographic centre of Oz, and from about October through March, the daytime maximum temperature hardly ever dips below 40*C/105*F, and 46*C/115*F is quite common.
The hottest ever recorded temperature in Australia was 53.1*C/128*F at Cloncurry, Queensland in 1889.
The highest ever recorded temp in the US of 56.7*C/134*F was in Death Valley on July 10, 1913. This would have to be close to, if not the world record. So you beat us there.
The lowest temp. ever recorded here was only -23*C/-10*F on the 28 June 1994.
Most of Australia experiences at least a couple of +40*C days each summer. Thats hot enough.

It was 54C somewhere here this past summer, NSW i believe. Thats warm!
Ahhhhh 46C not 54C. Been a long day indeed, time to go me thinks..s
The lower the elevation, generally the hotter it gets.
Death Valley has the lowest elevation in the western hemisphere, at its lowest point it's 86 metres/338 ft below sea level. Average annual rainfall 2". Nothing lives there except some cactus, a few snakes and a couple of lizards.
Cloncurry. 186 metres/472 ft above sea level.
An actual Town where people live and work, love and play.
Just today, in the middle of winter, the daily maximum was 32.8*C/91*F.

who doesn't mind if you think he's full of hyperbole.
