Been using the Nulon for the last 20,000kms and I never really notice any difference between oils? (Fraud was using Castrol semi before that - think its the green bottle?).That jet bloke rekons people should be sticking as close to OEM ford; so he has been using 15W-40 semi synth Nulon...I always let my car warm up for 5-10mins before driving and never give it a hard time until its reached the 'warm spot' being just below half way point on gauge (stock car here too)....

This will result in a much faster warm up than idling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The lower the “W” number the better the oils cold temperature/cold start performance" and then he went on to say 5W is better than 10W and so on so by this guys logic 10W would be better than 15W; so then why the fark is jets adamant about sticking to 15W-40 semi? Or should I just ask the guy myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
