Seeing as how I am keeping this car for the foreseeable future, I'd rather not experiment with questionable oils. The transmission in the car is going to be modified and I'd like to not jeopardize the longevity of the transmission. Id rather take a couple percent hit on FE than shorten the life of the transmission.
The whole point of this mod is to improve short trip mileage. Putting excess engine heat to use is the method. I should have plenty of extra heat once the engine block is insulated. Super fast warm up is what I'm after for the engine and drivetrain to eliminate the cold start losses. The engine is going to be insulated either way just to have super fast warm up times. So, why not put the extra heat to use for the transmission?
