another oil topic (in europe)

andy  why so much cold viscosity?

I used 20w50 because everybody do.....but I changed it to 10w40 because oil pressure looked deam high for me.....it was 3bar before turbo on idle with hot engine and with 10w40 its about 2,2 bar

Hey Udo ,
checked again, but the 10w60 is actually semi synthetic....

cheers, P

Mineral oil is for old guys stuck in the old days.

Thats not much of an argument.
If you are that outspoken about it, I would have expected a more in-depth answer?

I wrote that we used castrol 10-60 synthetic on the circuit track . But for street and dragracing mineral works well
But everybody has his own experiance
