Can someone please set me straight on this.
Given summer time driving (70-95 degrees temps outside): If a 914 is running 20w-50 oil vs. 10w-30 oil, I know that the 30 weight is thinner oil, but which oil would run lower oil temps? Thanks, having a mental block moment here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

QUOTE bradd penn has 10w 30 i think i will try it. That engine has my clearances. With 30 weight you'll have shit for oil pressure in the summer. We alter our clearances to favor the heavier oil. The engine you have isn't generic and the rules others play by do not apply. For heat Vs viscosity review this. Lake Speed and I devised a chart like this for our Snake Oil products based on temperature, load and pressures for an aircooled TIV engine. This is not that chart, but it gives an idea of the relationships between heat and viscosity when related to working pressures.
