• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Thermostat?

Your oil is supposed to get up to 212 but not get much higher than 220-230.

212 is where it burns off moisture.

230 is where breakdown begins.

Oil cools the motor as well as the coolant.

If you have a 180 tstat your oil will still reach temps needed to burn off moisture. 160s are another story... I've done some oil changes on a 160 car in the winter and it was definitely muddy.
