Your point about increasing the weight of the oil for towing a trailer is wrong. No offense intended. The engine is capable producing a fixed maximum force against the rod journals and distribute it along the mains. Hooking up a trailer or whatever doesn't change that. Increasing the operating temperature of the engine or the oil, for whatever reason, is the only valid reason for fiddling with viscosity... ok, that and compensating for slutty journals, but that's it. Unless you're talking about an engine designed specifically to shed heat through the oil, (think Suzuki GSX series engines) an oil cooler is there to preserve the engine by preserving the oil. Just like cooking oil, engine oil literally goes rancid with exposure to oxygen. The higher the temp, the quicker the oxidation. Keep it cool and it lasts longer.

Totally welcome. I was guessing you were thinking "WTF, these guys still ragging on me?..." Just a little ribbing.

I've found that owners tend to be in two groups:
A large group that completely ignores the Owner's Manual. And a smaller group that basically nitpicks every type of technical spec or documentation out there. |

You know what BMW recommends in their cars? Whatever the dealer sells, or a specific type of Castro. You know what happens when you run an oil outside of those guidelines? Nothing. But your warranty coverage may be impacted in case the oil causes engine failure. But no one cares if you run a non-BMW approved oil. From the thread you referenced and what you wrote: Quote:

I base my decisions on the fact that my assumptions are always right.

Fact Royal Purple hps has a higher friction tolerances under the friction test and showed less mechanical sheering on the tested baring even to a race oil all tested were 5w30 oil. I also stated that I did not see Enoes. My question to you is what grade octane do you put in your 86/brz and what brand do you use the most and why?? |

Well yes and no. Remeber if you stabilize temp and pressure of engine oil you will increase life of your engine. To stablelize temp you need a oil cooler by not exceeding the oil temp for the weight you will stabilize oil pressure. This will improve oil life and engine life. Plain and simple the only reason our books say 0w20 is for max cover of cold climates and for fuel economy!! |

I haven't seen to many of this group. Me I'm the type that reads the whole OM and when I can't find an important answer I don't expect some one at a dealer to spoon feed me a trained response I ask people who I trust to point me in the direction. I don't make guess or assumptions I use data to figure it out. It also helps to have a family memeber that works as the chief Engeineer for TRD racing here in the USA. |

I'm done. The bullshit has gotten way too deep. I don't do well with it.
That seat taken?

I'm feeling bad that it appears that this "oil thing" got ignited again, just because I was funnen with ol @Choaskaze 's post ..... OK, you and I will sit back ...... and see if @mav1178 wishes to carry on with @Zentec. Did I ever tell you about this crappy Sears lawn mower I had for 25 years, that I never liked, so, I never changed the oil in it .... ?? It just wouldn't quit running, so I gave it to my son-in-law because his broke down. It was still running when he parked it ....... humfrz Last edited by humfrz; 08-20-2017 at 02:22 AM. |

I could put in lower octane but due to the high compression engine it won't perform as well. If I wanted to run 87 all day I'd do an engine rebuild and drop the compression down to 10.5 or so. |
