I believe they may be using Bardahl XTC 10w40, at least that's what they usually show pouring in.So..... What were they using ??
SAE 30 grade...
Or 20w50 at -30°C.
They didn't show it in this video but usually they use Bardahl 10w40, that's what they used in the previous video where they used the clear valve cover and oil pan, and it's what I've seen them use in other videos before.Yeah man I didn't hear or see anything in the video... Guy just said mineral oil. Well Hades... Even "mineral" oil can be a 5w30. I bet that you are possibly right here. Could have been that 10w40...
He even mentions the relief valve in the video, the pump relief is probably staying wide open and just duping the oil right back to the pan.What happened to the "PD Pump"? lol
is it not pumpable and too cold for it?
That because you are watching a bad Russian video! Was waiting for a bear to attack one of them or guys in track suits to start fighting behind him.It's like I'm watching a bad Russian video or something.
Can we agree synthetic motor oil might actually pump a tad quicker, given a reasonable SAE viscosity selection? Or is this still too much to accept for some of you?
Well, if the distributor gear was still missing teeth and not spinning the distributor and oil pump, Even with synthetic oil in it I'd bet the car still wouldn't start, and the synthetic oil wouldn't flow either.,,,It's like I'm watching a bad Russian video or something.

It broke the teeth because it had an aftermarket high pressure oil pump driven by that gear & the guy revved it pretty high to try to get oil flow to the cam/head area (which was finally starting when the gear failed). Needs an oil pan heater!Well, if the distributor gear was still missing teeth and not spinning the distributor and oil pump, Even with synthetic oil in it I'd bet the car still wouldn't start, and the synthetic oil wouldn't flow either.,,,
I doubt the darned thing would have broken if it had synthetic oil of the correct viscosity in the first place.Well, if the distributor gear was still missing teeth and not spinning the distributor and oil pump, Even with synthetic oil in it I'd bet the car still wouldn't start, and the synthetic oil wouldn't flow either.,,,
