Hello,
I have been reading about this oil and there are mixed opinions. Although the brand and oil itself are among the best on the market, the viskosity is a little low. Now, I have spec sheet on it and it says
cSt@ 40 C 80
cSt@100 C 14.3
Flash Point 236
...
Comparing to say Total Quartz 9000 5w-40:
cSt@ 40 C 85
cSt@100 C 14
Flash Point 227
...
You can easily see that Mobil is thinner when cold, which is what most of us want. Because oil will flow faster on startups which when most of engine wear occur (in "normal" driving). BUT, as can be seen, when at operating temp - Mobil 1 is thicker than Total (or most SAE40 oils). Would it be enough to conclude that this oil grade is suitable for engine like 20XE? Any experience on long run?
Cheers,
George
