Henrietta and SAE 20/50W
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:59 pm
I have been reporting back on Henrietta and using SAE20/50W engine oil, the oil pressure is holding around 40/45psi hot or cold with only a slight drop when running at slow tick over when hot, down to around 35 psi. This is by far and away the best oil pressure she has had in all the years I have owned her.
Just to give you an idea of the work she has been on during the last few weeks since the oil change, today has been around 30 degrees C here in Norfolk and I have spent the afternoon "pan busting" in my field.
This is an old Browns sub-soiler.
Been running it at around 20" (500 mm) in second gear, at times it was just like hitting a wall but Henrietta plugged on through the hard patches.
Did cause the coating to lift and crinkle on the exhaust though!
Not bad though as this pipe has done 5 or 6 years and she gets through an exhaust a year usually.
