2. Cary seemed to allude to the fact that it was good to much higher than 250ºF.
3. I asked for a example of a xW-20 that is capable of remaining 5.25 cSt or higher at a temperature of much over 250ºF
4. You responded with a oil that is good to 259ºF+
5. I do not consider 259ºF much over 250ºF.
6. I consider myself neither pro nor anti xW-20. I have just decided where I will draw the line. That line is 250ºF.
7. I feel for my street use xW-20 is perfectly adequate yet am unlikely to encouter more than a isolated 3 ml 6% grade in temperatures of not over 100ºF.
8. For Temps over 100ºF + Mountainous Terrain or Competition I would be using a heavier oil than xW-20. I suspect either xW-30 or xW-40 depending on conditions.
