Wow rich how are you outside in that? In the uk -5°c is cold enough let alone below -40! I know you guys live differently in Canada and you have the means to live that way but damn that's cold
In reality, this is neither a "test" nor experiment, nor investigation, nor explanation. Rather it is clearly a type of "Show and tell" presentation with some simple descriptions about the effects of cold temperatures between -45 to -39 Centigrade [-49 to -39.4555... Fahrenheit] upon the viscosity of three grades of oil [ two multi-grades of engine oil (5W-30 & 20W=50), one gear oil [85W-140] and flexible synthetic insulation coated electrical wire along with a few, short mentions about human skin and body cold affects. All the Best, Sincerely
Oil companies are not about to make oil grades for less than 5% of the population who live in the far north BUT some car manufacturers do offer PLUG IN ENGINE HEATERS !
Nick Ontario, Your claims about products not manufactures for such extreme cold are actually false !! This euaqlly applies to the extreme heat along with other conditions too. There are engine, transmission, gear, oil, lubricants developed, produced for the extreme cold for public, commercial use along with MIL-STD Similarly the common anti-freeze 50/50 mixture is useful for -40C/F; with higher portions of anti-freeze, suitable for lower temperatures as per shown, tested, developed. Also an engine heater only handles the engine oil prior to operation, function. There are far more, many important, vital, critical, mechanical components with require lubrication, thus also are certainly affected by the extreme cold as with heat. These include the transmission, differential, gears, spindles, wheel bearings, hydraulic brakes, calipers, clutches, torque converters, steering linkage, ball joints, U-joints, locks, latches, hinges, etc. All The Best, Sincerfely
Joel Suttker, certainly using fully synthetic engine oil is far superior to using petroleum oil based lubrication. This was well established over 85 years ago within the US & German Military, thus became MIL-STD post WWII during 1950's. however the API, which contain all of the StdOilInt'l owned petroleum oil producers, corporations, claimed there was no need to use synthetic oil products within the public, commercial engines. They also refused to certify any lubricants except petroleum oil based. This, although they had developed synthetic oil lubricants within StdOilIND, which was thus stopped, shutdown, not continued into production for the public. Perhaps the Mobil 1 [Exxon] (among the StdOilkInt'l corporations)synthetic which began production for public in 1974, years afterwards, was from that StdOilIND development along with the success of the private development, production, distribution, sales, certification, approval of AmzoilAmsoil years prior. The Amsoil synthetic lubrication products are still rated, tested, proven as the best, including compared with other private, independent developers, producers. The only product, company which has 24 mo/ 24k mi warranty along with full testing, comparison data including fleet, long term use. Mobil[Exxon]1 is still among the common mediocre level synthetic lubrication, engine oil equal to the others among the StdOilInt'l brand family; Valvoline,Penzoil,Castrol,Motul,Shell,Kendall,BP,Total,Texaco,Sunoco,Sinclair,Marathon,Arco,Uni/Unocal,Chevron,Mobil,Exxon,Phil66, My use with synthetic engine oil began in 1988-9 with Freedom Oil [independently developed, produced, shown superior to Mobil 1 with 12 mo/ 12/15k mi warranty [did not yet know about Amsoil (thus my certain preference, choice)] Your claim to using Mobil1 because of Kevin Harvick is a clear indication of common ignorance, misconception, lack of proper information, knowledge, principle. A. A race car driver, especially among NASCAR, Indy, NHRA/IHRA, Arca Series, IMSA, FIA, etc. never chooses the products, brands which are used within the vehicles B. The teams which are sponsored by any product, producer, manufacture with exception of the engines, do not use the products of the sponsor by any contract agreements, requirements, responsibility nor often at all. These teams do not endorse the products either. C. The single purpose with these sponsors are to use these means for their advertisement such to promote to the viewers, fans, etc. their products such the public will purchase them. Both the Valvoline VR1 and Mobil 1 synthetic oil are basically equal in their mediocre quality; especially compared with private, independent producers as Amsoil, Royal Purple, Joe Gibbs, Schaeffer's and similar -> also see expert Lake Speed, Jr [currently with Top Seal], previously within Joe Gibbs Racing and their development.

That's good time Richard👍
What oil do you run on Drag/Sick Week?
20/50 VR1 non synthetic
Seems like just the average Alberta winter. Aint Nothing for the Chuck Norris of Canada

Legendary video! Love it dude
Good test with oil

I got some of that Mobil 5W-30 because Kevin Harvick. Glad I don't live in Alberta
