hoary, let one of these fumb duck "experts" waddle around in google for several
hours and they will eventually post some nonsence that plainly shows just the opposite of what they claim is reality. Or, at best, they quote some other fumb duck.

rod, are you saying that racers deliberately use poorer quality oil than the
englightened owner of a mercruiser powered bayliner?

Why don't you address the issue. Why do they chose a single weight oil over multi-viscosity oil? My experience with race car crews (including the guys that build the engines) is that they do a LOT of things based on folk lore and "that's just the way it's done". Don't try looking for a lot of logic from racers, they are more into superstition than science. That said, racing presents an entirely different environment for the oil than recreational or regular automotive. They aren't likely to get 3000 miles on an engine, so they aren't likely to care what the long term durability of the oil is. What they do care about is how the oil reacts in high RPM situations. A "racing" oil is formulated to reduce foaming, which can be a critical issue on a high performance engine. You don't want to run that in your car or boat, however, unless you intend to change your oil on a weekly basis. Rod If you are going off on that tangent that there are differences in oils formulated for different purposes, you are going to horribly upset Jax.... he'll be calling you stupid in no time... -- Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Southport, NC. http://myworkshop.idleplay.net/cavern/ Homepage http://www.southharbourvillageinn.com/directions.asp Where Southport,NC is located. http://www.thebayguide.com/rec.boats Rec.boats at Lee Yeaton's Bayguide |

let me guess, ben. you know for a fact the priest used multi-grade oil?

Who said the racing oil was poorer quality? I sure didn't. I said that racers prefer to use an oil formulated for racing because they believe it won't foam up as bad. Ask the typical racer why standard oil might foam up and you might really shake your head at the answer.

I attended a seminar once that was put on by Pennzoil targeting a group of race car owner/drivers. This was about 30 years ago so things might have changed a little, but the gist of what they said back then was that the racing oil was formulated to withstand higher temperatures and to resist breakdown if contaminated with Nitromethane or alcohol. It was NOT a "detergent" oil and they did not recommend it for the family car. Oh, and in a previous post you said: " tell us which major oil companies produce oil specifically for use in 4-cycle gas engines used in a marine environment, and how that oil differs from the same company's oil produced for the same engines used in say highway driving."

dont waste your breathe rod. jax' only motivation is to get under your
skin. he is the resident short bus kid. if he replies its quite possible he isnt talking to anyone in particular either as the names he uses are his imaginary friends. anyone that does have intelligent replies are met only by the semi coherent reply of a lonely old man.

junnie, go argue with the engine manufacturers. 100 years of experience for
them and you with 1/2 year's experience repeated 18 times.

Also, note that the 40W oil has a higher viscosity at 100 degrees C than the 10W-40... thus, more protection... less likelihood of boundary lubrication. Another notable benefit of the single weight oils is higher flash point. Note that low temperature pumping and viscosity are only recorded for the 10W-40 oil.... that is what the "W" means... it has been tested. The multi-vis oil does have a lower recorded pour point, so for those of you boating at temperatures less than -38 degrees F, I suggest you adopt that oil. Otherwise use the straight weight like the manufacturer suggested... -- Grady-White Gulfstream, out of Southport, NC. http://myworkshop.idleplay.net/cavern/ Homepage http://www.southharbourvillageinn.com/directions.asp Where Southport,NC is located. http://www.thebayguide.com/rec.boats Rec.boats at Lee Yeaton's Bayguide |
go argue with the engine manufacturers, if you could. they usually don't speak
with engine geniuses who live in 40 year old single wides.

junnie, the manufacturer of the engine used in mercruiser conversations
recommends multi-grade oil. mercruiser is not the engine manufacturer.
