Any actual problems with Amsoil

I am hoping that by now the quarter hasdropped.

You're pretty swift there, stihl boy. :bang:

I have been in the auto industry for 34 years. If colder is better see if you can start your engine at 273 degrees Kelvin.

Try running your engine at 300 celcius.:bang: Ridiculous is as ridiculous does. Anything carried to extremes is just that...ridiculous!

No just apply the principles of common sense and what works = experience but thx for the compliment I think.

read spacemule and my conversation and that should answer you in light speed.

while you are on google look up the speed of light for yourself too.

Engines are engineered to be run at specific temperatures. In fact, running below the optimum temperature can result in less-efficient operation with higher wear.

Witin certain parameters you are correct. But we are talking reasonable temperature differences here, not extreme differences. No oil is going to cool any engine to anywhere near ambient temperatures in a temperate climate such as the USA. Our friends in Canada may have extreme cold that calls for other measures to ensure proper engine temperatures get reached. In particular diesel motors need help to maintain proper temperature levels are reached to maintain complete ignition.

PS: I HAVE OWNED A FEW GERMAN DIESELS IN THE PAST......AND I RAN SYNTHETIC OIL IN THEM AS WELL.....SHHHH DON"T TELL THE OLD PHARTS

if you ran syn dont say it was amsoil or your a>> is grass on this forum

well well well now you are getting closer to the holy grail. Congrats on your informed accomplishment.

Ps did you run your synthetic oil for 41 years like I did that bear juice?

Dont listen to the old pharts they may allready have been where you are just getting too.

52 and I have worked in the automotive industry since 1981, I have a little knowledge of the internal combustion engine. I am no 2 stroke expert, that I freely admit, but common sense leads me to believe any engine that runs cooler with better lubrication will run longer and with more power than its hotter running counterpart.Heat does equal friction..or better yet friction causes heat.Friction is the enemy of any engine, it not only robs power but wears on all surfaces.

Two cookies if YOU can tell me what happens to an auto engine when it runs too cool.

PM me if you have an answer.

Excessive fuel consumption, ring wash and oil dilution for starters

Good, good, but I was reaching for the long term effects directly related to fuel. I haven't seen the oil dilution, but it def seems in line.

Fred

 

[bwalker]

if you run a car engine below temperature but in earlier posts I read that you use synthetics to lower the running temperature of your saws. That seems like a ambiguous statement. You said further to that fact that you even monitor this with heat gauges. Seems to conflict can you please inform a novice like me what you mean

What post are you refering to?

 

[Mr.]

I've got an oil temp guage on my Hotsaw.

Fred

I don't really, but I though someone would call me on it.

I don't know what this means.

Fred

 

[Mr.]

Don't forget my request.

Fred

 

[stihlatit]

hey ben ultra is right on here check back when you were telling me about your old dodge and using synthetics to mrun cooler.

Arnie

 

[bwalker]

Your losing it...
I did make this comment though.

I have never noticed any reduction in temps when using Mobil 1 on any of the trucks/cars and bikes I have used it in.

Once again I am sceptical of any claim of a engine runing cooler on synthetics DUE TO DECREASED FRICTION. This pertains to this discussion of FOUR CYCLE OILS.
Caps added so you guys will understand me completly.

Piston, ring, bearing and liner wear.

 

[stihlatit]

Ok confusion might lay in post 177 where I wrote to Ben but maybe should have been directed at Mr.

I cant win...I get bashed by the Neo Ludites and the Amsoil freaks....
