Folks,
The March 2001 issue of "Circle Track" has a Q & A section
and on pg. 104 is the following paragraph:
"Consider oil temperature as well. We find that petroleum-based
oils, such as 20-50 multiweights, make optimum power between
220 and 230 degrees F. Lighter viscosity synthetic oils often
produce similar horsepower numbers at 130 to 170 degrees F.
There is a direct relationship between oil temperature and
horsepower, but there are durability factors to be considered
as well." part of an answer by Keith Dorton
I found the specific values quoted to be interesting.
******
side note from the same issue: Craftsman has a new two-stage,
25-gallon compressor, 110 volt, 175 psi. Might need one of these
for the trailer BUT... MSRP is $429.99 :-( Pg. 81 of issue
