Wrong oil in engine

That's true, 5W30 is too thick for 50 degree days in Texas

 

At altitude in CO I am not worried about running 10W40 in my shitbox, the snowflakes inside of the crank case provide cold start protection before the oil takes over. But most days I just ski to work to save money on fuel

 

I been thinking about dumping my exhaust and elbowing it to blow straight on to my trans to help warm it up….I’m just worried it may drone a little…I heard to that this will heat your shifter up and make a heated knob..

 

OP came in for advice and got the Royal 3rd Gen send off.

 

Soooo... Wheres OP... we need updates.... did you kill dad?

 

I'm pretty sure he was trolling but who knows, there's some really stupid shit on here sometimes.

 

OP dad is like: Oil?? who said anything about oil?

Always a good rule to live by

 

My Taco loves the 5w-30 I fed it.

 

if only he would of used the 0w 16 oil

 

Is adding a bottle of Hoppe’s to your crankcase still a thing?

 

Was it ever a thing?

 

I recall someone saying a little Hoppe’s #9 before an oil change flushes carbon out of the engine.

 

I mean if you have oil sludge build up, fresh oil once warmed up will help break it all up. I guess maybe in the older days like the '70s when oils had minimal additives that might have been true.

 

I just love snorting this stuff. Is that still a thing?

 

Sometime in the ancient past I’ve been told: brake fluid, transmission fluid and kerosene.
