Re: Daimler-Benz Cold Weather Start Feature

Hello Harold
not so, very cold oil lost its, what was the English term, maybe viscocity, and had to be diluted just to ensure its lubricating qualities, when engine and oil get warmer, the aviation fuel evaporats and so the warmer oil maintain its lubricating qualities.

One other possibility is to warm the oil before the start but that takes more time.
