Pm'd and it back fired. Svt performance. Put that in the dotted area in that link and make it one word instead of spaces. Damn controlling admin blocking their links here.
These engines have a positive displacement oil pump, which forces everything through the oiling system - that's what causes oil pressure. Only time you'd lose flow volume is if the pump hits pressure relief, which would only occur if you revved the engine very high with cold thick oil - which you shouldn't do regardless of what weigh oil is being used, but especially if running a 40 or 50 weight.
Yep, because Ford anticipated that the Boss 302 would be tracked. I think the GT500s also came with 5W-50 from the factory. Ford engineers obviously understand what happens to MOFT when the oil gets hot from track use.
Correct 5w50 was standard. It was too think for what most people used the gt500 for though. 5w30-5w40/0w40 Will meet most people needs. 5w20 seems acceptable when it's amsoil or something like Pennzoil plat/ultra but most don't use that here so...
He suggests 5w50 for only severe applications. Highest I'll ever be going is 5w40 myself. I hope the thread is enjoyable though :cheers:
Link is busted ... would like to see what else they say.
I missed this...i wish the guy that argued with me would stop shoving his blog everywhere around here. :lol:
Hell yeah it is, where does Troy work? He is spot on with everything he's saying so far, I get the impression he doesn't work in a lab though, I have a funny feeling of how he knows what he knows.
Amsoil if I recall right.
That oil ended up getting Terry Dyson kicked off Bitog, it's heavily mentioned. Whether an oil is mentioned in Bitog doesn't hold value for me though as the site has now gone to a good joke I heard the other day. Most chevy's today are still on the road(photo of a silverado jacked up with a driveshaft hanging on the side) lol
