You guys fir real? Tell me this. If it is 0 degrees C in the morning, and you drive the car for an hour, what would be the operating temperature of your engine after the drive?
Now, it is 30 degrees C in the morning and you go for an hour long drive, what would the operating temperature of the engine be?
The 6a13 engine is liquid cooled and uses a thermostat to regulate it's optimum operating temp. This fact alone defuncts the theory that - if it's hotter here than in Japan, we need a thicker end weight oil.
Yes, the start up weight is important when it cones to start up temps, but there is no reason why you would need to run thicker than 5-10 tops in Aus. Reason that mitsi recommend 0w is when it's below zero, you don't want a thick start up weight.
Running 50w in your 6a13? Good luck to ya! Running 50w and still get tick? Start saving.
