:rofl

I’m going to get to the bottom of this tomorrow.

Rainmanpaul - I agree whole heartedly with everything except where you say wording is messing with me. Especially after that article that oil doesn’t behave like regular fluids do and thicken with temperature drop (right or not, who knows it’s the fact that it’s there)

For the same fluid (oil, honey whatever) two rating are given to it by SAE after temperature testing. First rating is given oil saying it’s thin when cold and fluid when warm due to second rating.

Like I said, I’m going to look into this more tomorrow.
