they put the fan closer in the last run thats why nulon got more power!!!!!!

alot of people don't seem to understand how oil works... higher horsepower doesn't mean the oil is thinner and is breaking down faster. putting lighter oil in an engine doesn't mean more horsepower. without the propper retained weight at opperating temperatures, the oil would allow for less smooth operation. TYPICALLY an oil that allows least resistance because of proper lubrication will also support lengthy engine life... and YES some oils are better than others.

Is it just me, Or is that EVO sound as if it's detonating slightly as its coming on boost?

[munnsey]

If you are really anal and prepared to drain oil every 1000 miles, even modern minerals will be doing pretty much just as good a job. But for most people of course , They want 3000,6000, 12000 or more oil intervals, And synthetic is then the only choice for proper protection.

And of course, the lower range of the 30 grades (under 10cst), is approaching being classed as a 20 grade. So the differences even with same viscosity ratings can be quite far apart. Also need to consider how long they can perform and still manage to stay in grade.

[munnsey]

Ha, Surprise surprise the underdog wins. What a load of rubbish. How do we know the oils where all at the same operating temperature, adn the viscosity at that temp. The Mobil 1 for example could have held a thicker viscosity.

The variation allowed to be classed as a 30 oil is between 9.3 and 12.5 cSt (centistokes) @ 100 degree C, That alone will have a slight effect on power. Mobil1 1 5w 30 is known to be at the top end of the 30 grades (nearly classed as a 40).

@Dakiller722 The vehicle isn't parked. It's on rollers that measure the horsepower. The front and rear of the car are strapped down and the vehicle is run to operating temperature then it's run up to a higher gear and the hammer is dropped. The machine measures how much power is put to the wheels at a given rpm. Depending on the model of dyno it will also give some other information like vehicle speed, engine temperature, and air/fuel ratio.

hey guys sorry if i sound like an idiot but im barely getting into all this car stuff and i wanna know if u can drive using a dyno engine because all the videos i've seen the car is always parked. can somebody please explain to me what a dyno engine is?

[pantydropper666]

eamh2002 if thinner oil is like water you're going to have a seized engine. N if the oil seems too slippery, that's ok, that's what it's designed for.

[BremboRGTI]

Motul 300V Forever!!!!!!! Idiots, pay attention when tested Motul fan put more than when other oils were tested, and when tested Nulon fan placed very close! Turbo engine, the better the more cooling power! Loshary)))

This independant test and dyno fan proudly brought to you by Nulon oils!!

[eamh2002]

Power can also mean that the oil is too thin to lube at extreme temps, and the cranks etc just move through the oil easier because it's like water, rather than oilish.

Power isnt always the key, a slippery oil gives more torque and that cannot be misunderstood :p
