Haha, I agree.

SAE weight is about as accurate as stirring the oil with your finger and comparing it to honey, syrup, or pudding and then lumping it under that category.

Look at cSt at a given temperature. It is much more relevant to a combustion engine, where SAE weight is much more relevant to pouring a liquid through a small hole out of a bottle. Completely worthless spec. imo.

I don't know about lambo's but I know I was reading bugatti veyron owners (I know it's $1.7-2.7 million car) but they are paying around $250,000 - $300,000 a year for yearly maintenance!!:shakes head: that would buy some pretty nice houses around my area (the $250k to $300K).

I really doubt that....

The tires alone on a Veyron cost more than your Z KBB's for if you still had it, depending on trim level.

I have always been told to let your car warm up a little at first. With that said, waiting till the oil temp guage says 180 is pretty warm for a first rip. My car takes like 20 minutes to get to that temp it seems, and this is in the summer. I let her loose at 140-160 haha. Who knows how accurate those Oil Temp guages are anyways...

I understand, but what on earth would total several hundred thousand dollars in YEARLY maintenance. It probably barely cost that much to make the thing.
