I'm aware how oil grades work but u got the lower numbers mixed up 5w works For Lower temps that 10, 5 is thinner than 10 at the same temp, the low rating is needed more so if driving really cold temps of sub zero

Also 5w doesn't mean -5 or 10w =. -10 I thinkmu should read up a little on oil viscosity mark and also check your owners manual too there should be a picture showing how the oil grades recommended react at what temp

Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. In everyday terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity. Put simply, the less viscous the fluid is, the greater its ease of movement (fluidity).

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system for grading motor oils according to their viscosity characteristics. SAE viscosity gradings include the following, from low to high viscosity: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 or 60. The numbers 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 are suffixed with the letter W, designating their "winter" (not "weight") or cold-start viscosity, at lower temperature. The number 20 comes with or without a W, depending on whether it is being used to denote a cold or hot viscosity grade. The document SAE J300 defines the viscometrics related to these grades.

Kinematic viscosity is graded by measuring the time it takes for a standard amount of oil to flow through a standard orifice, at standard temperatures. The longer it takes, the higher the viscosity and thus higher SAE code.

The SAE has a separate viscosity rating system for gear, axle, and manual transmission oils, SAE J306, which should not be confused with engine oil viscosity. The higher numbers of a gear oil (e.g., 75W-140) do not mean that it has higher viscosity than an engine oil.

Seems GB is correct with his above statement

[MH3.0R]

Ok, I have some more reading to do. Thanks for the feedback though.

[SegR]

he said orifice.

[MH3.0R]

he said orifice.

No foul language on my thread!!!!!

Oh, I see, he was talking about a standard hole through which liquid is pumped!

[MH3.0R]

Been a while and all I've got to say is we are still tuning!

In the meantime, I have had Cruisn refurbish my headlights to match the fogs, but replaced the 3.0R chrome insides with standard dark grey insides and also got rid of the yellow blinker bulb with some silver looking ones that throw the correct yellow light.

Oh, and there must be at least 5kw atw in that new look!

Welcome to the club Mark

[<GB>]

I like the badge lol

[MH3.0R]

It even got the seal of approval from the missus tonight! She says, it matches perfectly with the darker grille and lip.

Thanks again to Cruisn for some good work!

[Corsair]

Lights look great Mark.

[cruisn]

Once you've had black, you'll never go back......

[AB501UT!0N]

Love the new grill and surrounds Mark they look really clean and classy

Thanks Chris,

But dont look too closely! They are just held on with black plastic ties!!!

I know in photos the blue comes up well, but IRL black is so sex it's not even a debate as to wether or not you should do it.
I'm happy to help you out and do it for you if you want.
