Trex101 3rd Gear August 7, 2007 Share August 7, 2007 How thick or thin a oil is relative to the engine oil temp. For example, a 40wt oil would act like a 30wt in a turbo engine(avg 110+'c under heavy throttle) or a 30wt oil will act like a 40wt in a NA engine(avg 90+'c under heavy throttle). All depends on oil temp. Occasional sprinting or high reving during overtaking will not bring up the oil temp too much, that why i'm still running on 20wt oil after so many yrs. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberet Neutral Newbie August 7, 2007 Share August 7, 2007 besides what terrence mentioned long distance driving? for how long? if u r screaming down the NSHW non-stop, then maybe 10w30 would be a better choice due to the slightly higher than usual oil temp. i've done non-stop to malacca with 20wt and didn't notice higher wear than usual. of course going to the track with a 20wt is brave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
