That may not be all they don't understand.

That's not it.

Yes but too low of a MOFT is exactly how you create wear. For what reason should I or anyone risk that happening? Just to get 100 square feet extra of cutting per tank? There's no downside. I also use a Euro approved oil for the other benefits such as proven deposit resistance. My Toro aluminum...

If you use the torque angle shown on the plug box then no correction is required for anti-seize.

I’m not sure I understand what the coating has to do with it? It’s still the different expansion rate that helps.

Of course not since that is a 40-grade oil. Physics matters, an oil of a higher HT/HS won’t damage the engine but one with too low most certainly can.

That's one key. The other (and at least equally important key) is to prevent metal-to-metal contact in the engine as the oil thins due to heat. An inadequate MOFT will kill the engine pretty quick. An engine full of oil at a temperature where the film thickness is insufficient won't prevent...

Here are a few previous threads on mixing oils. There is also the Widman caclulator to determine your resulting grade. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/mixing-oils.315053/ https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/mixed-oil-debate.334979/...

Running a 20-grade oil in air-cooled OPE in Houston is beyond foolish.

What's the price of a brand new one?

Yes you do need to compensate for low-viscosity oils.

That's actually quite complicated. And the complexity is further complicated by the various ways in which the apparent octane rating is achieved. In the most traditional sense (where octane is the only molecule) then it is affected by the branching of the isomers. Greater branching leads to a...

Are you saying it doesn’t have to have the approval, only say it meets the requirements?

Why is that?

No.

Yeah that's a bit of a stretch. Perhaps just trying to make a point of some sort. It seems as though sometimes people want to brag about how thin of an oil they use.

If you want it to warm up faster then a thicker oil will help with that.

Me too. Dollar store generic zip-lock sandwich bags are economical.

Sure as long as the winter rating is appropriate.
