Longest motor life will be found when oil is 220ºF-230ºF
Just curious what your source is for this?
I don't have a link readily available, but that's been long known and documented in SAE papers.
I'm neutral on this (or at least I'll give an opinion on another post). I noticed Bitoggers will mention the SAE without actually providing a link to the paper. This often results in information being handed out that actually has nothing to do with the SAE. The SAE has over 207,000 documents in its library. The way to search them is by this link:
https://saemobilus.sae.org/
You can type in a couple of key words and try find the paper. It only provides a few key paragraphs of info. I believe you need a membership and there is a fee involved to get the paper.
Like I said, this is just a neutral handy tip. Carry on.
