Not an oil thread!

For those that have switched from dino to synthetic - have you noticed an overall drop in operating temperature?

 

nope can't say that I have. Not sure why you would either.?

 

Hey I switched from dino to synthetic over 12 years ago and YES I did noticed a big drop in operating temperature and a increase in mileage .

 

YES I did noticed a big drop in operating temperature.:first:

 

One of the properties of a synthetic is that it dissipates heat faster then a petroleum oil.

 

What temp. are you referring to? Coolant temp or oil temp? I dont have any numbers to compare because I started with syn. oil. However, back when the majority of NASCAR teams switched over to syn. oil they reported between
5 to 10 degrees reduction in oil temps,unfortunately I dont know if they saw a drop in coolant temps. It would make sense that coolant temps would drop
due to the reduction in oil temps.

 

AMEN ! Thank You
