Hypothesis:thicker cold means less warm up wear

[MolaKule]

Editor timeout:

In my view, the earlier the oil gets to the sliding and rubbing components, the sooner films form, the sooner additives get into place, and the sooner cooling takes place, is an advantage for engine lubrication.

This infers low viscosity oils with appropriate additive packages.

The oil then can be seen as both a lubricant and an additive delivery system.

Solve the riddle.

In everyone of my examples, the oil was thicker than necessary,
but I went out of my way to make them far thicker than necessary.

Well, at least that is how it appears, but how can we know that?
Perhaps the oil was at it's perfect viscosity for each given example.
Proof of that would be the fact the car survived cold winter starts
and three teenagers.

If we accept the theory that perfection does not exist, then in every
case in my little story (and everyone else's), either the oil is thicker
than it needs to be or the engine wears out and fails.

Too thick, results are the same as too thin, for a given condition,
but thicker or thinner than necessary......well, that is what everybody
talks about on BITOG.

It's like a crash course in irregular verbs.
