Is Edge going to be better than Nulon 10W-40 full synth? 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)....

Yeah, don't do this.

All you are doing is burning extra fuel whilst the car is running Plus the extra fuel being dumped into the cylinders during warm up will cause faster oil breakdown.

You are far better off starting the car, letting the car stabilize then driving it gently for the first few k's. This will result in a much faster warm up than idling.

whaaaaaaaat lol

learn something new every day.....so the past 4 years of my life warming up cars has been wasted!!!! FFS

So literally, start car, wait 30 seconds-1min max and then drive?

But I find the auto shifts so harsh when the car isn't fully warmed up.....

I also just read something online... "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
