The oil suffered "breakdown" which caused increased fuel consumption and higher engine temperatures? That's some conclusion you've drawn there.
Haha sorry buddy i didn't use the bob lingo. Has a very high VI. It seems you might have suffered a "breakdown" haha
Has a very high viscosity index? What are you talking about? If so, how did you measure the viscosity index change?
What were the engine oil temperatures you measured and how much did it increase as the breakdown occurred? I'm interested because higher viscosity results in a higher oil temperature, your use of the term "breakdown" generally means the oil has a reduced viscosity. This would lower oil temperaure.
I've suffered no breakdown, "buddy." Just asking for details on what you yourself posted.
haha i found a simple explanation for you. Why does it have a high VI...
