[QUOTE="Icecobra, post: 317760, member: 8470"] In general when using 30 weight maybe, Deoends how hot you get the oil. But in mutli weight oils no cold flows at 5 and hot flows at 30... Thats how it is designed to work. ... Thats what the 5W means.... Multi viscosity oil is designed to thicken as it gets warmer. This is why it pours in so easily and seems to flow slower when its warm and your changing it. Next time you change your oil get it to normal operating temperature and drain it, (please be careful the oil is very hot then). watch the lfow rate as it comes out, then check the flow rate of a new bottle of the same stuff cold. In my automotive class we tested it by tipping a piece of metal on its side and pouring hor oil on one side and cold oil on the other to see how long it took to run down the metal plate... It was about an 18 inch long thin plate and we timed travel time... Try it out its a great test for kids to learn.... [/QUOTE]
