I hope people read the reference you gave and while this is a bit off topic, consider from that reference why military, aircraft, and medical equipment costs are what they are. The amount of testing, the expensive testing equipment, and the special components to achieve qualification for the...

A good alternative is HPL Manual Transmission Life [email protected] cSt which has been validated through racing applications.

Telemetry data up to the last second should show any anamolies.

Not viable. How would you replace the additive chemistry in any oil since not all oils have the same chemistry or additive levels?

The BE-4 first stage engines use Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Methane as propellant. Rumor has it there were problems with the turbopumps. https://scienceinsights.org/what-is-a-turbopump-the-heart-of-a-rocket-engine/ Turbopump Design...

I think the correct compound is Molybdenum Dithiocarbamate Molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is a high-performance lubricant friction modifier, whose lubrication relies on decomposing at the friction interface to form low-shear-strength MoS₂ tribofilm...

It may once have been the correct oil but is now Contaminated. I would not run it in any engine.

If you want to get young people interested in science, volunteer to teach LegoLegue and help with Science and Engineering Fairs as part of the STEM iniatives as I do.

When I see or hear people discussing reality, illusions, or realms, that is a clue that they are departing from the essence (the real meaning) of science and entering the realm of mysticism or mythology in order to popularise themselves. As I stated before, mysticism is not even philosophy.

No, never heard of him until now. Wiki has a bio on him if interested.

I did after I posted not seeing your comment at first and thanks but yes, if the lipstick is to be pushed all the way down, then a quart of oil is not being drained.

That is a definite possibly since all data points to a 2 quart sump capacity.

I have two large OE's, a generator and a snowblower. Both have instructions on checking the oil levels which state that the dipstick is to be set on top of the oil fill hole; not screwed in or pushed down past the o-ring on the lipstick. This is a $1900 engine so I would reread the manual to...

I use a 75W110 which has a wide viscosity range and a thicker oil film for better wear protection. Amsoil, Valvoline, and Redline all have differential lubes in this grade.

I think the major unknown variable here in determining total energy usage is: how long is your system active between each temperature setting? That is, your system cycles on and off for different periods depending on temp settings.
