CCS adn oil

[ziggy]

ive been reading more and more about an oils CCS
cold crank simulator. where should an oil fall under? for example, a synthetic, Mobil 1 is listed around 6,100 i belive. valvoline durabelnd is around 4,800 and quaker state high mileage is 7,000. all are 5 w 30 oils. does this example mean, the qualer state high mileage will flow much bettter? i am using valvoline durablend right now, in a 1995 plymouh neon, and my car seems to have lsot some power. retrictions of movemnet somewhat. car seemed to respoind much better with oils that fell under 5,500 or higher ccs's.

Your oil pump may prefer the 5500 & under group.

Feed your engine what it likes. Disregard the Einstein-tech stuff.

It's kind of funny how we can oggle over test figures and draw many upon many a conclusion, but then to come down to simply giving the equipment for which research was in means, the trial-and-error method...amazing.

I suppose in the end it serves to raise one's general awareness, instilling to the new the practical sense as viewed and spoken by others of experience, to distill myths and lessen the mysteries, and to finally come to conclusion that no matter what, all things are temporary - though extention and delay are possible and with such gained knowledge, is able with appropriate conduct.

This is turning out to be quite the day, and I still have an 8hr shift ahead of me!
