I can believe this hasn't been discussed ad nauseum, but I did a search and couldn't find anything. Time to change oil. Any suggestions as to which oil to use?

Thank you for posting that, Jake.
I have been told that synthetics don't absorb heat as well as conventional oils, and your data seems to verify that.. but your other data leaves me confused. In a typical air-cooled engine (where oil plays a role in engine cooling), does it make sense to use a good conventional oil for better cooling? |
