On a 88 degree day in Chicago I have tested two oil weights and have gotten the following results:
1. Brad Penn 10-30W, with peak running temp 205 degrees. 2. Brad Penn 20-50W, with peak running temp 225 degrees. Both exhibited acceptable pressure, so the question is which one would you select for summer driving??? |
