Let's use 0-20 Honda Accord V6 as example.
On a cold start, the oil is at 0. As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the oil is now at 20. The oil starts at 0 thin on a cold engine because it needs to be thin, to move faster, squeeze through, to protect all the parts (correct?).
What happens to oil on a cooled down engine and restarted 3 hours later. Would the oil weight be somewhere, let's say at 10 weight?
If it's at 10 weight now, somewhat warm, then how does it able to squeeze through and move around fast enough to protect the engine during a start up?
Thank you.
