Any oil better than no oil.
Clean oil better than dirty oil, at least for a while.

Re: [MBZ] Engine shake when frozen

I had some experience with Soviet military vehicles (like tanks) in a
previous life.  Creature comforts were  nil.  Engine systems (Diesel) were
interesting.  They had an oil heater (fuel fired, I think) and pump to
circulate heated oil through the engine before attempting to start.  The
batteries were massive but the primary start system was compressed air,
which recharged after the engine got going.  The design philosophy seemed to
be "throw-away",  maintainability was poor. Presumably these vehicles would
be replaced rather than repaired, just like entire combat units.

Russia, of course.  Fellow does follow up on a previous video of the impact
on engine oil while attempting to light off a Lada(?) at -30C.  A very good
example of why using a block heater is smart.

Clear oil pan and valve cover.  GWN has been sitting at -12C to -21C the
past seven weeks.  Lots of cars sitting out not hooked to power.

 Painfully long video but neat result. I bet they were using something like a 
15w40 conventional oil but even so I wouldn't have predicted how long it took 
to get oil to the head. It'd be interesting to see an oil pressure gauge on 
that.

I'm looking to (finally) change the oil in the ASV which is know for hard 
starts when cold, its getting Delvac 1 5w40 synthetic. One of the other guys in 
the club is giving me hell for "expensive oil" but we don't change it very 
often and I figure we need all the help we can get.I'm going to put it in the 
Tucker I'll be running this year too, thats got a Cummins 6BT that starts 
better in the cold but again, I want all the advantages I can get.
