"WHY" Does Old Oil Slow Engines..?
Hey guys, i seriously notice on my car now rather then smaller engine cars i had in the past. I have a 95 ford tbird with a 4.6 V8 that has just over 133k on the ticker. As soon as i get past 2000 miles, after a good oil change, it seems as if i lose atleast 15-25 hp...especially torque.
Example, after a oil change, i can go WOT from a stop and get a good 2 second chirp (no smoke)....after 2000 miles or so, i punch it...nothing.. Just a slow windup.
Is it that the oil gets thinner and loses it's lubricity..? But why would that hinder HP and TQ..? BTW, i do use 4 qt's 10W30 castrol and 1 qt Lucas Oil Stabilizer...works good.
BTW, does it have something to do with compression..?

Dead men naked, they shall be one

When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone
They shall have stars at elbow and foot
Though they go mad, they shall be sane
Though they sink through the sea
They shall rise again
Though lovers be lost love shall not
And death shall have no dominion.....
