I use Celcius all the time.. its -40 degrees where C and F are the same...

and I do realize how poor it is to keep the car in unheated storage... unfotunatly we all dont have garages like you bill

and my oil isnt that thick... its the Redline synthetic 75-90 from gofastlabs.. I just heard it was real thick when cold

You're right, it's not that thick. Probably no thicker than the OEM stuff. Gear oils and engine oils have different numbers for their SAE ratings. A 75W90 gear oil is not that different than a 10W30 engine oil. Calling it a "thick racing oil" is somewhat misleading.

Nevertheless, I still stand by my lengthy dissertation.

You are also right about the degrees F and C. I just though it would be easier to say that at those temps, the two are converging and getting pretty close to the same number. I didn't think it was necessary to give the actual conversion but for those who feel the accuracy is a must ..............................

-30*C is -22*F. I trust this makes everyone happy.

have you ever heard of any S2ks putting BG Syncroshift II in there trannys? I was gona replace my gear oil with that

First I've heard of it here. Try a new thread in S2000 Talk and see who replies.

Was the car pointed towards the hangar doors? Newer hangars are built with a slope towards the doors. So any fuel spills and water from washing runs in that direction.

Just curious X, how many kms do you have on your S after all these years?

xviper

Car is 5 years, 5 months old, supercharged the last two years.
It has 63,000 KMs. Although it is my daily driver, for the last 2.5 years, I walked to work, thus the lower than average mileage. But I did drive it to work for the first 3 winters where it parked outside all day and on night shifts, using a block heater.

nope.. it was a flat surface (Ive had to push large amounts of water out before) and the movement of the car was directly connected to releasing the clutch...

Yes, that is very low...glad to hear it's still as good as new.
