Bill, the Chief Engineer of Cummins 14 Liter diesel truck engine (the one
that is warranted to go a million miles before the first rebuild) once told
me that oil starts to break down if it gets above 250 degrees fahrenheit.
This guy was on my crew at the runoffs every year from 1980 to 1993, and I
grew to trust his judgement immensely.
Have you ever smelled the oil which came out of an engine which has had a
problem and caused the oil to go well above 250 degrees? The smell alone
tells you something is wrong. No offense to Valvoline, but I'd want to see
their test results of an engine running with 450 degree oil temps!

A week or so back we were discussing HOT OIL TEMPERATURES after a Test Day
at
Blackhawk Farms Raceway, where I felt my TR3 was running hot oil
temperatures.
Kevin Potter, who now builds my engines, called the VALVOLINE Engineering
Department and requested their input. Their response blew his doors off.
VALVOLINE said, "Our racing continues to lubricate and does not break down
until it reaches it's Flash Point, which occurs somewhere between 450 and
460
degrees."
Wow! I was certainly no where near 450 degrees.
What do you think?
