Mike wants to know:
I Wrote in one the Picture attachments, that when I was taking Temp. readings at various places along the travel of fluids of both the Trans. and Motor Oils, that the Temp of the Motor Oil at the Oil Pan was 400 degrees F. Considering the higher Temp. at the Cylinder Walls, 400 degrees F. sounds like a normal Temp., at the oil Pan. Can some of you please measure the temp. at your Oil Pan, so we can compare your results to mine? I would not know what exactly the Temp. should be at the Pan.
In the Carpet business we melt our glue between 350 degrees F., for a slow seem and 400 degrees F., for a fast seem. The oil has Parafin or wax in it or so I read. Plus, cooking at those Temp. seem to be the norm.
When I pulled the Intake Manifold from my 1979 Dodge B-200 Van, the oil had solidified, like a hard Black crust then stuck to the bottom side of the Intake Manifold. I already said that I get I'll just thinking about, how I abused that, Van. So, I deduced for that to happen that a distillation process went on, over the years, to work against gravity, in that way?
By not changing the oil at the recommended 3,500-mile interval, I burned out the properties of the various chemicals in the oil, that were supposed to protect the oil from doing that.
