oil

[mattallac]

so to conclude from all my reading in a 70 degree environment 10w 30 race oil would be the best choice.but i would still like to know about the elf/total brand oil.

Fuck me there is some shit in the Ferrari chat thread!

Just goes to show a Medical Doctor knows FUCK ALL about engineering, no matter how much ca$h he makes or typing speed he has or cars he own's

You dont need a degree is arse sex to know that the physically thinner an oil, the more metal to metal contact there is!

Mobil 1 5W-50 is a great oil to use in a Rotary, stay away from the "thinner grades" as promoted by our Ferrari Chat Dr cock wash BDC & HC styled posting rant.

Rice: everything I've ever read on the subject written by actual engineers more or less agrees with the FerrariChat article. It's just that Dr. Haas explains it better than most, which is why I like to post that particular article. Care to provide a more convincing argument than just juvenile name-calling?

Unlike Ferrari chat Dr Nobody, I actually build and rebuild my own engines and have seen what "light weight oil" does to them long term.

You just need to ask yourself this question, why does a Ferrari Engineer specify 10x-60 for a Ferrari Enzo as listed in his "article".

Less shear plane loading through low viscosity of course will lower oil temperature, it will also greatly increase oil consumption (ever seen a F1 smoke show, or wonder why they consume 6lt! of oil in a 200 mile race!!!!), it also vastly reduces the oil wedge separating steel and white metal, send any oil in for an analysis and you will want to punch Dr Nobody Ferrari chat in the face for his SHIT HOUSE ADVICE styled BDC & HC rant waste of finger typing prowess.


Believe what you want its the internet, just cause some **** does the worlds longest post and uses contradictory evidence while ignoring his own marks "opposite advise" is just fucking mad!

Oil 101!!! LOL

Pick what you want, good luck!

This place is mostly a USA-centric member base.
It's very hard to get those brands in the USA.
This is probably why you are not getting too much feedback to your questions.

Where are you from?
