Y’all funny.

Running low oil levels is just asking for problems that can be easily avoided. As mentioned, turns, slopes and odd angles can starve the pump momentarily leading to failure.

Low oil levels concentrate containment’s which lead to increased wear.

Low oil levels increase oil temps which can lead to the oil chemically breaking down prematurely, thus not providing the necessary protection required.

Use the correct viscosity recommended by the manufacturer. They pay engineers to design, test and build their engines.

Machining tolerances and heat determine viscosity required.

Using a incorrect viscosity can cause metal to metal contact thus shortening engine life.

Engine’s are expensive last time I checked.

Truck and heavy equipment fleet owners take oil samples and use Oil analysis reports to determine when oil changes are needed and if abnormal chemical or metals levels are detected.



Y’all using Oil analysis...???

No...???


Uh Oh... 😳
