    Thicker oil also requires longer warmups. If you thrash it before the oil softens up, the thick consistency causes more resistance against moving parts, internals can be bent or broken, bearings can run out of flow and lose the pressurized film layer protection they ride on. Still, a slightly thicker oil is always going to protect bearings better against the hard hits they take during wot racing shifts.
    Can't wait to see what you guys do to this little muppet-soaked nugget!
