I do. Race mechanics do. Aircraft mechanics do. The US Navy does.

Listen to an engine upon startup with heavy oil in it (even at
summertime temps) and hear all the grinding and banging and clattering
going on inside the engine for the first ten or fifteen seconds, let
the engine warm up a couple of minutes, shut it off, restart and
listen again.

If you can't hear the difference, replace the battery in the hearing
aid.


You guys are too funny....(c;

The grinding, clattering and banging is because it's a D-I-E-S-E-L!!....The
blue smoke, too!

Cold cylinder walls condense the fuel spray as the piston exposes it. Fuel
left in the cylinder explodes on the next power stroke before the injection
takes place, especially if it doesn't start right away.

It's not a high-performance, electronic engine in a goddamn Cadillac
Escalade or Lamborghini, you know. It's an old, slow compression engine
running on home heating oil!.....even if it's got a new jacket to make it
pretty with a big row of model numbers to impress someone who just paid a
lot for it.....

If you ever get a chance, stand in the engine room of a big diesel-powered
ship when the compressed air injection start goes off....hee hee. Your
little Yanmar or Faschetti or MTU is the same engine....(c;

I hate to tell ya'; but if the oil is slow to come up on the first
startup; there is a difference in the sound.

But what if your or BSA or Triumph or Atomic-4 don't
have a full flow filter? Well then get nondetergent multigrades from Morris
in England.


I use Castrol 5W-50 synthetic in my A/4. It makes for much less cranking temp
until oil pressure comes up plus ten seconds more (I set the throttle so the
engine won't start to prelube), and change the oil frequently.

Synthetic oil flows at 300*+ plus while mineral oil does not. This means my
exhaust valves last loooooooooooooots longer. (The A/4, like most engines
designed prior to about 1970, used the lead in the fuel to lube the valves and
valve stems.)

I suggest you change the battery in your hearing aid, for the sounds of
grinding banging unlubed metal are plainly there.

Listen to an engine upon startup with heavy oil in it (even at
summertime temps) and hear all the grinding and banging and clattering
going on inside the engine for the first ten or fifteen seconds, let
the engine warm up a couple of minutes, shut it off, restart and

Probably because all the slime on all the parts is COLD.

You don't REALLY think it all drains down into the bilge during the night,
do you, leaving just bare metal?

Tell ya what.....a little test. Take some plain old Rotella and dip your
screwdriver down into it. Lay the screwdriver out on something you don't
care about. Feel it, say, tomorrow and see if it cleaned itself off. Next
time you pump out the crankcase, dip something you love in crankcase used
oil. Lay it out and see if it cleans itself off.

That engine isn't bare metal when you crank it up. It's covered in slimy,
greasy, carbony gook from the bottom of the crank to that leaky valve cover
gasket.

Speaking of that, did the engine clean itself off when that gasket leaked
last? Did you ever GET it cleaned off with those exotic cleaners? Live
steam will clean the parts. Engines don't have live steam, inside, we

larry, please don't make sophormoric comments on engine oil again. any engine
owner worth his salt can hear the difference at engine startup between a
prelubed engine and one that wasn't. don't try to out guess reality while you
are sitting in an armchair.

40W oil causing wear problems over 30w?
 
Some automotive engines use oil as light as 5W20 in 100 degree F heat and yet
go 100,000+ miles without any oil related problem. Many of todays aluminum
engines have done away with camshaft bearings and are using the lighter oils.
But the weight or viscosity is not the total picture. Much of this depends on
oil pressure. The theroy on light oils is that it is able to flow faster and
since there is no, or very little oil pressure at start up, pressurized oil is
able to reach component pasts faster. Since 97% of engine wear occurs at start
up you can see where this is critical. Lighter oils also disapate heat faster
thusly the engine runs cooler.

As long as oil pressure is maintained in order to provide sufficient flow there
will be no discernable wear with using 30wt in an engine perscribed to use 40wt
oil. Heavy weighted oils are used primarily in engines with lower oil
pressures or in extreme operating temps. In using a lighter weight oil you
should see a small drop in pressure, but as long as the engine maintains oil
pressure specs you will be fine.

Dennis

OK, so I'm sitting around with the captain and his engineer friend on the new
boat I'm project managing/co-captaining and we are trying to work out how to
run the same weight oil in the engines, gensets and trannys so we only have
to
fill the clean oil tank with one weight oil and not carry any extra buckets
of
different weight oils with us.
The CAT engines and ZF trannys can use 40W oil as per their specs but the
Northern Lights gensets only recommend up to 30W oil. The CATs could run 30W
but only at 86 deg. ambient air temps. We will certainly be seeing higher
temps
than that.
I tell the capt. and eng. that based on the ambient air temps we will be
seeing
even with the Delta-T fans that if it weren't for a warranty issue I wouldn't
hesitate to use 40W oil in the gensets.
The capt. and eng. disagree. They start saying that running a heavier weight
oil could cause wear problems and make the engine work harder over time. And
as
an example they compare it to what can happen if you use a heavy weight oil
in
a high revving street/race car. I point out that this is a diesel not a high
revving street/race engine. They back off that point a bit but we still go
round and round in a civil fashion.
In the end we will end up putting 15-40W oil in the tank for the engines and
gensets (as per specs) and keeping some 40W in bottles for the trannys.

But other than the warranty concerns, I'm I missing something here?
Would using 40W over 30W in the gensets with of course changing it at the
proper number of hours and making sure that the ambient temps never get low
really cause any long term problems?

WRONG! Automatics are not bathed in oil. Over half the fluid is in the torque
convertor while the remaining is held in the pan for the valve body and the
clutch packs. The reason why "bathing" the gears is not critical at startup is
there is no stress or load on any tranny gears or bearings when the damn thing
is in park and you're cranking the engine.

Dennis

Transmission do not suffer from dry bearings at
engine startup (as the engine does) because the gears are bathed in oil.

sorry, gene, you are only partly right. yes, that is a propeller, but no it
does not scrub the oil off. you pull the prop through many times (or crank
over with the mags turned off) to bring the oil pressure up to pressure to lube
the bearings before startup.

At least that is what pilots who care about their engines do. That is a little
beyond the conprehension of some pilots to be sure, but not the vast majority.

Jax, that pre-luber mounted on the front of the engine is called a
propeller and it will move the pistons up and down in the cylinder to
check for liquid lock. It will NOT prelube the engine, in fact, it
will scrape the oil off of the cylinder walls since there is no splash
or spray lubrication to restore what the scraper ring removes....

There are STCs to install a small electric motor and pump on the
firewall for the purpose of prelubing... it is not from either
Lycoming or Continental and it is not visible from the front of the
aircraft.

So, what does the scraper ring scrape? Where does the replenishing

you pull the prop through many times


*that*, I'd like to see....

(or crank

the bearings before startup.



While you are trying to build pressure up in the oil system, how are
all of those portions of the engine that are splash lubed getting oil?
There are Lycoming engines that receive NO oil to the cam, the gears,
valve train, or cylinders unless there is splash lubrication. While
you are concentrating on the main bearings, everything else is running
dry.

40W oil causing wear problems over 30w?
 
On Sun, 20 Jun 2004 13:44:08 GMT, something compelled Rick
, to say:

Jaxworld is truly a bizarre place


Jaxworld is a poorly lighted downstairs room in a seedy tract
house located in a dead end rust belt town. The kind of town
where young people with a clue abandon as quickly as possible,
leaving it to retired folk on pensions, the few that find gainful
employment providing goods and services to those retirees, and
dope smoking losers without enough ambition to take the minor
steps required to improve their lives.

Jaxworld has as its primary citizen, a fat goggle glassed
scraggle beard vaguely odoriferous male in his late twenties.
He's working at the same Shell station he started working in the
summer of his junior year, and has been promoted all the way to
night manager. This means he's in charge of washing the floors
and rest rooms, refilling the windshield cleaner buckets, and
scheduling the odd oil change or lube job for the next day when
the mechanic will be in. He has asked to *be* the mechanic, but
his constant arguing with the customers has made it clear that
it's better for them and for him to be placed as far from them as
possible. His title as manager is the default for what is
actually 'the only guy who's here at night, because there isn't
enough business to keep two people on'.

At eleven he closes up, balances the numbers on the pump with the
credit card receipts and cash, and stuffs it all into the slot in
the barrel safe for which he has no key, for the owner to review
the next morning. He stops by the late night diner to get a
double cheeseburger with bacon and a plate of greasy fries, the
same meal he has every night. The wait staff is generally polite
to him, except for the slightly overweight, mildly retarded
seventeen year old girl he obsessed over for a couple of months,
until her father stopped by the station one night with his
shotgun in the back window. Told him those things were always
going off by accident, and wouldn't it be a shame if it was
pointed at him when that happened? And that leaving his daughter
alone would be a good way to avoid an accident.

Jax makes it a point to not speak with the girl any more, but
that doesn't stop him from including her in his masturbatory
fantasies, along with the girls on the oil company calendars his
boss puts up in the employee washroom.

Jax pays for his meal, leaving a niggardly tip, and makes his way
home to his rented room. He was happy living in his parent's
house until at twenty three his father told him, yelled to him,
"Get the hell out and make something of yourself, boy!" as his
mother silently wept in the kitchen. She knew that he had to get
out, but she also knew that he was ill equipped for the real
world.

He boots his eMachine with the fifteen inch monitor he salvaged
from the high school scrap heap, s******ing to himself about how
they were so stupid to throw out a perfectly good piece of
equipment. So what if the red gun is dead? Windows95 finally
starts, the Pentium 133 processor making maximum use of all
thirty two megabytes of ram. The 14.4 modem wails its mating
call to the modem bank at his ISP, the newsreader takes its place
in RAM, and Jax is transformed from the fat greasy ****** he is
in real life to the highly educated, erudite, knowledgable being
he plays on usenet.

Unfortunately for him, much like the guy in the white jacket in
the aspirin commercials who states that he isn't a doctor but
plays one on TV, Jax can't completely fill out his usenet
character. His performance falls flat, and he has as much
success as he's had with the seventeen year old, or in fact any
other part of his life.

There it is. Jaxworld. Take off your hat and jacket, pull up a
chair, pop open a Pabst and set awhile.

If you have the stomach for it.

included opening an air snifter valve in order to - prevent - lube oil
from being pumped to the bearings.


sure you did. that damned oil is such a bad thing for bearings. nobody who is
anybody puts oil in an engine.

, to say:

Jaxworld is truly a bizarre place


Jaxworld is a poorly lighted downstairs room in a seedy tract
house located in a dead end rust belt town. The kind of town
where young people with a clue abandon as quickly as possible,
leaving it to retired folk on pensions, the few that find gainful
employment providing goods and services to those retirees, and
dope smoking losers without enough ambition to take the minor
steps required to improve their lives.

Jaxworld has as its primary citizen, a fat goggle glassed
scraggle beard vaguely odoriferous male in his late twenties.
He's working at the same Shell station he started working in the
summer of his junior year, and has been promoted all the way to
night manager. This means he's in charge of washing the floors
and rest rooms, refilling the windshield cleaner buckets, and
scheduling the odd oil change or lube job for the next day when
the mechanic will be in. He has asked to *be* the mechanic, but
his constant arguing with the customers has made it clear that
it's better for them and for him to be placed as far from them as
possible. His title as manager is the default for what is
actually 'the only guy who's here at night, because there isn't
enough business to keep two people on'.

At eleven he closes up, balances the numbers on the pump with the
credit card receipts and cash, and stuffs it all into the slot in
the barrel safe for which he has no key, for the owner to review
the next morning. He stops by the late night diner to get a
double cheeseburger with bacon and a plate of greasy fries, the
same meal he has every night. The wait staff is generally polite
to him, except for the slightly overweight, mildly retarded
seventeen year old girl he obsessed over for a couple of months,
until her father stopped by the station one night with his
shotgun in the back window. Told him those things were always
going off by accident, and wouldn't it be a shame if it was
pointed at him when that happened? And that leaving his daughter
alone would be a good way to avoid an accident.

Jax makes it a point to not speak with the girl any more, but
that doesn't stop him from including her in his masturbatory
fantasies, along with the girls on the oil company calendars his
boss puts up in the employee washroom.

Jax pays for his meal, leaving a niggardly tip, and makes his way
home to his rented room. He was happy living in his parent's
house until at twenty three his father told him, yelled to him,
"Get the hell out and make something of yourself, boy!" as his
mother silently wept in the kitchen. She knew that he had to get
out, but she also knew that he was ill equipped for the real
world.

He boots his eMachine with the fifteen inch monitor he salvaged
from the high school scrap heap, s******ing to himself about how
they were so stupid to throw out a perfectly good piece of
equipment. So what if the red gun is dead? Windows95 finally
starts, the Pentium 133 processor making maximum use of all
thirty two megabytes of ram. The 14.4 modem wails its mating
call to the modem bank at his ISP, the newsreader takes its place
in RAM, and Jax is transformed from the fat greasy ****** he is
in real life to the highly educated, erudite, knowledgable being
he plays on usenet.

Unfortunately for him, much like the guy in the white jacket in
the aspirin commercials who states that he isn't a doctor but
plays one on TV, Jax can't completely fill out his usenet
character. His performance falls flat, and he has as much
success as he's had with the seventeen year old, or in fact any
other part of his life.

There it is. Jaxworld. Take off your hat and jacket, pull up a
chair, pop open a Pabst and set awhile.

If you have the stomach for it.

I believe Mary Pabst is dead. Anyway, she was one loony woman, a
much-to-avoid.

some people are weak from the get-go, gene. most don't brag about it though.

a little weak in the arm, are you gene?



perhaps because I don't spend as much time "building up that muscle"
as you do....

actually gene, I taught him much of what he knew about mechanics while we were
still in junior and senior high school (I worked as a professinal mechanic
starting the summer I was twelve years old, my father owned the place).

The year after high school he earned his license. When he was drafted, the
military thought so much of his license they made him a rifleman.

After he got out of the service he used his license to earn a living for a
period of time, but quit the aircraft business to earn a much better living
pounding nails as a carpenter.

I'm a certificated aircraft mechanic and factory trained


a high school buddy of mine had one of those licenses before his 19th

birthday.
How many years did it take you to get yours?


It certainly didn't take me nineteen years.

I'm not sure what went wrong in your life, Jax... from what you say,
your friend finally became mechanically proficient and knowledgeable
and, well, I guess you took "the other road." Sorry about that,
Jax....

Perhaps you could call your friend and he could set you straight. He
could draw pictures and be more detailed than I have been....

It seems oil was not covered in the class you took.


Probably not the same oil that you remember from your school daze....
was that vegetable oil from Home Ec? or do you only remember sex ed?
Oh, the Speedos..... that must be it! Ok, Jax, we do *not* lube
engines with Motion Lotion........

Please see your high school buddy for clarification and a
refresher....

I did a google, and found the below web site. Quite interesting
"oil-wise". Talks about cold-start also. Download the "Oil Bible"
(177 pdf pages)...it explains the attributes of motor oil, the
standards,and the testing methods. I now know what the "5"
stands for in 5W30...and it isnt' what I thought it was...:)

If anyone spots a more authoritive source, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.

dennie, you operate a fork lift in a boat dealership in the Texas desert within
trailing distance of a resevoir. This, you claim, makes you an expert on
torque convertor marine transmissions, and the use of engine oil in those
torque convertors.

A quick read of some of your ramblings on the net show that you are trying
against all hope to give up the life of a fork lift operator and move on to
what you consider the The Big Time as a web site developer, but so far find
your ass getting kicked in that business by high school kids who do a more
professional job of design.

Likely guess is that you known even less about web design than you do about
torque convertor marine transmissions.

[snip all but the important stuff fork lift dennie posted]

Geez, Jax, how come a "professional mechanic" like you who claims to
know the names of two aircraft engine manufacturers and claims that
their engines incorporate and/or require prelubing doesn't know what I
am describing?

Can't Google the info? You are SO busted, you slimy wannabe fraud ...

Jax the "mechanic" ....Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
