    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3,000_mile_myth

    With modern synthetic oils and new tests such as BMW's LL ("long life") oil specifications, most current cars can go over 6,000 miles (9,700 km) before needing an oil change. Even most modern conventional oils (also called mineral oils) can take a car engine at least 5,000 miles (8,000 km) before needing an oil change. [1] [2] [3] [4]

    A cold start can be difficult for an engine due to higher viscosity of oil and fuel in cold temperatures. Generally speaking, diesel engines have more difficulty starting at low outside temperatures than gasoline engines, and electric engines have the most problems. Diesel engines do not use spark plugs to ignite the air fuel mixture and rely ...

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  8. SAE J300 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J300

    The oil fails the test at a particular temperature if the oil is too viscous. The grade of the oil is that associated with the coldest temperature at which the oil passes the test. For example, if an oil passes at the specified temperatures for 10W and 5W, but fails at the 0W temperature, the oil is grade 5W. It cannot be labeled 0W or 10W.
