  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

High 4t engine temps...

Your engine is running hot and you question your current oil selection. You would...

It’s a hot ass summer day; your engine is running hotter than normal. Radiators and coolant are fine, but you would like get the heat issue under control. You have been considering changing your lubrication to suit your engine's needs at this higher temperature.

Let's say your engine calls for 10w50, but your engine is running extremely hot (all other things are running normal). Do you run a higher grade oil, say 60w or do you run a thinner oil like 40w?

You would… :confused:

My roll up garage door was creaking so bad last night I thought it was going to break. Mixed stp with a chlorinated oil and oiled all bearings and hinges. Thing is silent now. Thats a lot of ddp, lol
 
Tinken, as you seem to be obsessed with oil related things (and thanks as there is a lot of info out there to digest) What is your take on Too2cool oil additive? This came on the scene in early 2000 and was supposed to lower engine oil temps drastically. I think Ty even promoted and sold it for a while. I tried it when running the then newer Rekluse autoclutch on my 04 TE450, seemed to work but I had my reservations. Thoughts?

This poll would mean its pop quiz time! Sadly I only managed 3 pages of your oil thread so I fail. I'll choose option B.

But you get an A+ recognizing that the answer is in that huge oil thread. Usually reading just chapters 1-4 is all that needed. If you were to ask the BMW Formula 1 engineers this question, you would get a laugh and then an explanation.
