Video here is quite extreme. though. I mean yeah I'm aware that 10w50 will be dreadful in sub zero but like I said I keep car in garage. Even though there was 0 outside yesterday, oil never really reached this temperature at any point to begin with. It was 8 deg in garage which is basically the same temp I have in underground garage in summer.
And it's acceptable for me to just never start car below this temp with such oil. That said I DO indeed think this oil runs hotter than 0w20 did and I have some doubts about that.
So to recap - according to my understanding oil pressure determines how well oil flows through engine so IF i find oil that within
my operating temperatures during daily driving (which is around 110-120 C) has similar pressure to 0w20 which is what's recommended for grandpa driving at 90-100 deg C on oil (which I personally still see as "cold engine") then it means flow rate should be fine and I should be good to go?
