[QUOTE="Grant808, post: 14235715, member: 74892"] This would be the perfect internets-straw-man-takedown, except that you apparently don't even grasp the differences in units of the two viscosity specs we've been discussing. And I think people viewing this thread are smart enough to see that you don't know everything and that you're not even answering my questions. If I were totally off the mark, I think the SVTP community would have basically said so. The SAE grading in cSt are not the same units or type of units as cP for HT/HS. They are not even tested in the same manner or on the same type of testing equipment. It's not just for the difference in temperature. HT/HS simulates the conditions of hot oil in the bearings, not the pistons as you mention above. And that's why per ASTM specs it's tested on a 'tapered bearing simulator'. Seriously, I've done very little research on this, but can clearly see that you don't really understand what these specs *[I]actually[/I]* mean. But back to your straw man argument... * You haven't proven how you've 'tested' 10w-40 to be good for the roadrunners aside from running it around on your GT or GT500 and checking the pressure gauge. * You've stated many times that you think 50 grade oils are too heavy for Roadrunners, yet you don't have any proof of those claims. * You have not provided any UOAs of your local Boss buddies using 10W-30 Amsoil for the street. * I can only hope you now understand the functional differences between the Boss/Coyote/GT500 and why their oil requirements may be different even for the same driving use. And mainly the point that the Boss is functional to 7,500 or up to 8,200 RPM for aftermarket tunes. * You've successfully made fun of me for changing my oil too soon. Congrats. My apologies for getting your pants up in a bunch, but the ONLY reason I started posting in this thread after following it quietly from the beginning is the handful of Boss owners who said they were running Amsoil 10W-40 and were planning on some track time based on reading this thread. It got me curious enough to ask some questions, and now I definitely have them answered. [/QUOTE]
