Look at the chart I posted above. 0w20 at ~275F is ~5.5 psi/krpm (+/-), while 5w30 at same...

It is no prob to simply run higher-viscosity oil if you're worried about oil pressure drop due to temp.

That said, we do have evidence (see above post) that an oil cooler itself can have enough...

This "logic" is total, 100% b.s. The argument seems to be that since 5w30 doesn't drop below 7.5 cSt until it gets much hotter, then that means it *has* to run hotter to be "optimal"? In the *real*...

OP should have said "blocked" out.

Putting a "B" in front of "locked" makes it correct terminology.
