[QUOTE="Slivia, post: 1384768, member: 3472"] mroctopus, First of all, the "thicker" oil that i mention is refer to higher [B]viscosity.[/B] the report u mention is fuel saving by using lower viscosity oil e.g. 30 or 20-weight, not lower viscosity oil can provide better protection, hope u dun miss it up. Yes lower viscosity is better for fuel economy.:_: a grade 30 oil can have better Viscosity Index(VI) compare to the grade 40, 50 or even 60, but it doesnt mean that it have better protection compare to grade 40. [B]VI is the stability index of the oil viscosity against Temperature.[/B] But things for sure is, viscosity during 100'C for grade 20 or 30 is definately lower than 40 or 50. Why? Bcos all oil categoried as grade 30 or 40 or 50 is base on it viscosity during 100'C. Yes, with grade with castrol 10W60 also will have burning smell, but what i'm trying to say is with just grade 30 oil, the oil will break down & burn due to high temperature lah... FYI, turbo engine tend to running hotter compare to NA engine. U sure is cheaper to produce heavier lube? u are refering to semi synthetic, full synthetic oil or mineral oil? :emoticon_U: As a conclusion, there is such thing [B]"Too Thin"...[/B]if there is no such thing, all racing oil company can just develop thinest oil for their race car, since thiner oil have better respone & fuel economy. Just to share infor that i know.:_: [/QUOTE]

Single Straight or Y Pipes
I never got a straight answer regarding this issue.
Straight pipe:
Lighter (less piping)
Y-pipe:
"prettier"
Is there any difference between a 2.5 inch single pipe and a 2.5 inch Y-pipe in terms of exhaust flow...
