Yes, that is the same calculator I use for my rough analysis. You can enter specific values from manufacturer data and it gives a pretty reasonably accurate plot. Interestingly enough the difference in viscosity between conventional oil and synthetic isn't all that (statistically) significant. I'm not an oil expert either, just have a strong interest in the subject as I would like to keep my car alive on track ![]() I had been toying with the idea of going up a step in viscosity since I was spending so much time at elevated temperatures, but I think the real solution will just be to figure out how to improve cooling.
