Hey guys!
Another j**k (that's ME!) joining the endless viscosity discussion...
Where I live, everyone thinks the thicker the better, but I recall
reading an article sowhere ( more than 160 kBytes...) about the
issue. The guy explains why thinner is usually better. He maintains
that what protects engines from wear is flow, not pressure, and
that the W number, the lower the better, as it prevents start-up
wear. I feel like subscribing to his point of view, but I'd NEVER
use 5W-20 on my beloved KJ anyway. There must be a limit to..
( Regrettably they don't sell 5W-30 here or I'd be using it )
Unwisely ( I assume ),some oil makers sell 25W/65 engine oils,
intended for high mileage engines. In my (humble) opininion
that's the way to end destroying the engine.
Better have it overhauled...!!!
You wouldn't put grease in Your engine, or do You?
Anyone thinking I'm in favour of engine wear, I'm no Pro and don't
like anyone's car breaking down!!! Least of all MY Liberty....!
( No flaming here, just kidding guys, don't get upset.. )
