THIN OVER THICK: Why the Heavy Weights of Drag Racing Choose Light Weight Oils

摘要

Is thicker better? Well, the short answer is that it depends. If you're talking about piston crowns, Kevlar body armor or the T-bone steak you're about to toss on the grill, then thicker is probably better. When you're talking about engine oil, while thicker seems to intuitively make sense in order to provide maximum protection, a thicker fluid is not always the ideal choice for the application. Many applications will benefit from using the thinnest fluid possible.
