[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 601782, member: 4090"] Hmm, I am still not sure. Looking at a 5w 30 Oil again: If you warm your engine up to 100 degrees C, then perform an oil change, the oil at that point is 'acting' like a 30 grade, but running smoothly. However, if you did an oil change when the oil is cold, it is acting like a 5 grade, but thicker. It just does not make sense! :lol: [youtube]aMr7XxitOkg[/youtube] [/QUOTE]
