5W30 Humor

[BlueOvalFitter]

You can let him know I started my 2012 Cummins powered Ram yesterday at work in 10F. It has Mobil Delvac 15W40 in the crankcase. It was a little slow to crank but fired right up and idled away at 1000RPM like normal at 10F. Grid heater cycled a few times, exhaust brake on and in less than 5 minutes I was driving home.

If your cousin's theory was true us "northerner's" would never leave home from December until March...

Just my $0.02

Man, I could tell you some of his theories that would knock your socks off!

... that's because the big tears help provide adequate cold start-up lubrication.

Just like on your Vette. I won't tell about the filter adapter you installed on it to run the 820S EXCLUSIVELY!
OOPS, did I just let the cat out of the bag?

That's right ... I wanted to ensure very low filter delta-p, and big tears ensure that, lol.

Oh man, l'm on my phone because we still don't have cable and internet. It would take too long for me to type it. But, he ONLY uses FRAM oil filters because he said those are the oil filters John Force uses. Need l say more?

Hmmm … I think John Force is an amazing guy still in it at his age … family and all …
But a reason to pick Fram is lost on me

It's obviously a special racing filter ... doubt he went to Walmart before the races to get an oil filter.

When I lived in “Down East Maine” winter of 62-63, temperatures down to -20F. My Buick Special always started , using 10W-40 which was the weight of choice back then.

never mind the burst rating … it would take an 1/8” wall not to bend on a hole shot

He came to visit me in FL. 2009. I had tickets to the Gator Nationals in 2009, with pit passes. I did point out the fact that ALL top fuel and funny car dragsters engines were using FRAM filters. That only encouraged him more so.

Dodged a bullit there...

Mustang?

 

[Jetronic]

Oh, and I think JF lost to Ron Capps. That's the 2nd time I had been to the GN's. I used to geaux to the Cajun Nationals when it was on the NHRA circuit.

I don't know much about turbos. Just enough to keep me from drowning. He owns a 2018 F150 with the 3.5 EB. He runs Pennzoil Conventional 5w30. Is Pennzoil conventional now a semi synthetic? I thought it was still a conventional oil. If he/someone were to run 5W30 conventional oil in an EB, would it harm the turbos? AKA- "COKING" the turbos?

 

[BlueOvalFitter]

Ask him to joint BITOG. He will have a 20W-50 grade welcoming on here

I think we should beat an old horse and have a 5W20 VS 5W30 welcoming party.

He would be disheartened to hear that most aren't using FRAM filters now.

Really? What brand filter are they using now? 2009 was the last time I went to a race.

 

[AngryScientist]

lol.

i read about half the thread until i realized that LA was not Los Angeles

it all makes a LOT more sense now

That's why we always abbreviate Louisiana La. Los Angles is LA.

Visited that great place in 2013. Hot and humid as hell (June), but ate my weight in oysters and po’boys...I won’t even mention the amount of beer that was drunk..

I ate a shrimp po-boy last night from the little store/diner in my town (village-population 300+/-). It was on a 10" piece of French bread with 18 shrimp on it. That's A LOT of shrimp. $7.99+tax ($8.77). C'est Si Bon!
