This should be fun
Benefits of Lower Viscosity oils:
1. faster oil flow on startup.
2. faster oil flow in colder weather.
3. More efficient flow in tighter tolerances (Lifter bores, tighter bearing clearances, etc)
4. Less viscous drag.. More HP
And as for Higher visc oils:
1. Thicker oil wedge for bigger clearances (Boats).
2. Higher oil pressure.
3. Better protection than lower Visc oils.
What about viscosity and oil filters, bypass valves, Coolers, and of course Oil temperature? :yikes
What do you run in your Boat, and what engine does it have?
