There is no hyphen/dash between Mobil and 1 [chuckle]. Feel free to verify this by looking at any bottle of Mobil 1 motor oil or visiting the web site mobil1.com :-)

Being knowledgeable about viscosity is general is not the same as being knowledgeable about automotive engineering, and gasoline combustion engines in particular. Not to mention specific knowledge of the Toyota engines in question.

Can you please reference the post where this expert got the info on the multivicosity oils wrong? In addition, can you please point to where the expert misspelled "Mobil 1"? For example, did the expert name the thread "Mobile 1?" It seems to me that you are blaming things on the expert that are not part of this thread and for which the expert is not responsible. Jeff

The Dr. Dichead you quoted knows even less about oil than you do. You are just a spamsoil troll, an idiot or both.

No, he just left a few words out. At operating temperature, a xW30 oil has the viscosity of a 30 weight oil at operating temperature. At room temperature, a 10W30 oil may very well have the viscosity of a 90 weight oil *at operating temperature.* The 0W30 oil may very well have the viscosity of a 40 weight oil *at operating temperature.* He's absolutely right, the nomenclature is confusing. The "10W" means that the oil at cold temps has the same viscosity as a straight 10 weight dino oil at the same cold temp. It does NOT mean that a 0W30 oil is thinner cold than hot. nate |
