Message	As oil gets hotter, it gets thinner. As it gets thinner it generally protects less. You want to balance oil weight with the temp. Hotter the temp, the thicker you'll want the oil. Adam PS: For those of you that dont know, the higher the viscosity #, the thicker it is. BS sig until I get motivated to make a new one: The 69th NA Coupe made in Oct. 1990 AIM name: Snoguitar
