It did thin down cold oil but did not heat it, it was too small, I originally went to a small pad because of deep ridges on pan for larger pad install. Wolverine wanted flat surfaces. Recently I installed a 150 watt Kats...

    Went to change oil in son's 1994 olds 3.1 chev motor. I mistakenly took the Boss 15-40 dino HDEO rather than the Boss 0-30 HDEO syn oil.
