Just wondering. Besides the question of the thicker oil maybe not getting
into tightly machined surfaces - how much power is lost by forcing the tranny
to slog its way thru 80-90w instead of 30w? Given that we're dealing with
Alpines, I for one don't want to give up even a fraction of a horsepower
without a really good reason.
