i doubt the uk will get cold enough to freeze oil lol

in serbia they light fires under the fuel tanks of trucks to defrost the diesel, and once started they have to leave the trucks running all day lol

but thats like -40 or summut

what about the oil in your engine, that will drop down to the same temps at night and you'd never worry about that.

oil doesnt freeze at uk temps. dont worry.

those of you running your diesels on chip fat though. watch out.

you should be ok, cos the diesels cloud point will be -10 and the blend is ok down to maybe freezing.

just a warning.

Dont worry peter as it says on the mobil site the freezing point has not been established ...


Pour Point C: -60(-76)
FREEZING POINT C(F): NE
NA=Not Applicable, NE=Not Established, D=Decomposes
For further technical information, contact your Mobil Marketing

Becarful on 50/50 when its getting this cold, i would drop it up to 70/30 mix of derv in cold weather.
