Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Democrats are definitely a joke, but when you started all of these engines, did you use a break-in oil and do the 20 minute 2000 RPM breaking procedure?- Ttype6

Not at all, it's added comment on the consistent theme of propaganda and it's influence without evidence. Have you ever started up a freshly rebuilt engine with a flat tap at cam in it? Tappet- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Absolutely something I would love to do as well. And even though the evidence says it will work, because of the effects of propaganda I'll be very nervous because propaganda without evidence affects everybody and that's why so many let Democrats violate their constitutional rights which are...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
The real hang up is that people believe thicker oils create higher film strength and that is absolutely not true and the majority of motorheads believe that to be true because it's repeated over and over again. Film strength is created in the additive package, not the base oil as Brad Penn would...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
The best additive packages in the best oils can only handle so much water carbon and alcohol and that's why we have recommended oil change intervals. As we put more and more of that stuff in our oils and we absolutely do in forced induction engines, we don't hunt for oils with different...- Ttype6

He actually recommends using STP oil treatment as an assembly lube. If you're not being sarcastic and you do this you'll be one of many to find out the truth. Break in oils are oils that have very low film strength and they do it purposefully and the theory is to let all this stuff rub together...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
I don't know what oil you're currently running but I do know two things about it, it's much more expensive than Quaker State full synthetic 5W-30 when purchased at Walmart and it has less film strength. It's a no-brainer. Perhaps you're concerned about running a synthetic oil and having it cause...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Engine builders and doctors like the rest of us are human beings and the thing that Hitler learned from Lennon is that a lie told often enough becomes the truth and we are all susceptible to that. Engine builders believe the same wives tales that most all of us do. Thick oils do not protect...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Mobil 1 and Pennzoil and a handful of others make motor oils that have very good film strength and I've already said that. You would be well advised to use those oils but they don't have as much film strength as Quaker State full synthetic and they cost more. If they cost the same as Quaker...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Yes, oil is oil is oil as far as the oil in the engine bearings because the bearings are running on a hydroscopic wedge of oil so the bearing cannot touch the journal so it doesn't matter what kind of oil you use for the bearings. It's areas of the engine that are relying on a splash of oil...- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
Oh yes there is, and it's Quaker State full synthetic 5W30 and it's cheaper than any other oil on the market if you buy it at Walmart. Any other oil you buy has a lower film strength and is costing you more money and any oil that you add a zinc additive to is getting destroyed by that additive...- Ttype6

Only one thing you said is true and that is that there are many oils that are good enough but they all cost more than Quaker State full synthetic 5W30 if you buy it at Walmart and none of them have the film strength that Quaker State does.- Ttype6

Is it time to change oil viscosity?
No, never. Also there's no reason to use a 10w30 when you can use a 5W30. 10w30 will be thicker when it's cold that's what the 10 stands for and you don't need it thicker when it's cold. There's nothing wrong with the oil pressure that you have but if you want to bring it up at hot idol, the...- Ttype6

You'll need gauges to know what your next move should be. It could have too much refrigerant in it.- Ttype6
