Can I use 0w-40 in my Raptor?

Interesting…I guess if I save 3 seconds on every start, that will add a million miles to the life of the engine. Haha
 
I just can’t believe it takes 28 seconds for oil to reach the last point with a 10W oil at 0C. That’s just freezing. I feel like we’d see a lot more blowed up engines.

On the other hand it doesn't need to do so - assuming those numbers are correct and relevant to actual moving parts. At low temperatures the film thickness and viscosity is high and persistent. That's one reason why engines aren't blowing up.

Thank you for the explanation.

Do you think the concern about “oil reaching the turbos faster” with 0W oil is justified?
