  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

oil for te310

I have been running Castrol Power RS 10-50W in my 2012 te 310. I have read the tyhreads about 50 being to thick for these motors. While adjusting valves today my friens noticed some bl;ack film on parts which he said was from wear. Told him I changed oil frequently and told him the weight oil and he agreed with a lot of threads which says a 40W oil is much better. Picked up a quart of Silkolene Pro 4 10W-40 fully synthetic race 4T oil. Wasn't cheap $16.95 per quart. Anybody familiar with this oil.
 
The Mobil 1 0-40 weight does not have friction modifiers that many car oils have that could possibly cause clutch slippage. It also being thin at start up helps oil get to the head etc where it is needed, too thick of an oil won't be able to do that.

Others also claim a possible couple HP gain using 0-40 Mobil 1.
As long as on the back of an oil container it does not have the round seal with "energy conserving" in it, it'll be fine with a wet clutch.
