Originally Posted By: Gokhan Originally Posted By: Hokiefyd Is it possible that it had sheared down in Gokham's engine (say to 7.5 cSt), and had already started to thicken back up due to oxidation by the time it was UOA'd? I would somewhat doubt that. We're talking about a high-quality modern...

Originally Posted By: Gokhan I got my UOA results on the Toyota (TGMO) 0W-20 SN. The results were posted here. I was pleased to see that the hot viscosity of Toyota (TGMO) 0W-20 SN is very strong at 9.0 cSt. Most 5W-30s will shear to a 100 C viscosity smaller than 9.0 cSt. Therefore, Toyota...

Originally Posted By: WrxRcr Oil report Ran over 15 autox events on this oil. Oil temps reached around 240 degrees on a couple weekends where ambient temp exceeded 100 degrees. I added 3/4 can of lubro-moly. Seems like the oil thickened up some over its life. Spec V@100cST is 11.7. Report...

Originally Posted By: cchase I think the Tire Rack measurement may be optimistic, or else they've changed the tire recently. I got 10/32" on our MXV4's brand new. I realize we're only talking about 1/32", but for the sake of accuracy it could have been anywhere between 10/32" and 11/32". Safe...

Originally Posted By: k24a4 I'm not sure where they started (10/32 or 11/32 or other) but I just checked the tread depth of my Primacy Mxv4's, size 205/60r16, on the Accord and they measured 8/32" all the way around with 42210 miles clocked. Would that be about 60% remaining tread? According...
