I've never had an issue keeping my cars cool. Even in stop and go Las Vegas traffic at 115ºF out, so I must be doing something right.

Want to see how oil flows at -40?

Rich put bottles of Mobil 1 20w-50 and 5w0-30 outside for a few hours. The results I'd say are are expected. Even the 5w-30 thicken ups quite a bit, but 20w-50 is practically cold honey!

Yeah TKO's have a 3rd gear gate issue at high rpm, but short of 7,000rpm shifts a lot of it is muscle memory because the gate isn't in the same place as the T-5 or 4 speeds. I've had a TKO-600 in my...
