Stop crying already. This is why I don't try to help diagnose peoples maintenance issues, they don't know what to do but yet they only want to take advice that they like. I thought this op was going to be different since he came armed with a video and all but I guess not. I put forth effort to help him and he ignored the advice, so screw it.Would you please just stop it? I'm trying to help this kid, and all you are trying to do is irritate everybody. It's been brought up at least twice in this post. If you are such an expert, be a gentleman and inform all of us. If you can't do that, then please leave the kid alone and find somebody else to irritate. I'm not even the OP and I'm getting sick of your crap. If you are a moderator, act like one; don't act like a child.
And yes; 93 octane is hotter burning than 87, 10w-30 is thicker viscoscity than 5w-30, and the Earth is round. I've been doing research on cars for nine years. If my facts are wrong, I don't care if you correct me, but you don't have to be a jerk about it.
And FYI, I have the posts sent to my e-mail on the threads I'm subscribed to. It doesn't censor it there, so if you want to be smart about it, I can send all of your replies to Club Integra and they can handle it [I've saved all of them.].
Why are you starting shit with me? You don't like my language, I don't like your incorrect advice, this is the internet, get over it. I've been on this site for almost 8 years, I could care less if you don't like the way I act, I've helped many members with all sorts of different things, you need a shoulder to cry on by all means contact JayJay, he's the site owner. I'm not always right but at least my advice is plausible to the situation. You tell me you've researched cars for 9 years yet you tell me higher octane burns hotter.
Octane doesn't control temperature, higher octane does provide a more controlled burn that takes longer to ignite. Your A/F ratio controls the cylinder temperature, richer = cooler, leaner = hotter. Is that a good enough explanation?
5w-30 and 10w-30 -- The difference in viscosity is during a cold start, once the temperature gets to the operating level they will both be a 30w. So no 10w-30 is not thicker oil. And if you were going to recommend it because it's thicker at start up then I will say your wrong again. This motors been sitting for 2 years and the motor's oil passage ways are probably all gunked up with old cruddy oil disrupting the flow during a cold start. If I was him I would put a 0w in it so that the oil can get to the bearings as quick as possible for lubrication, especially since it's WINTER TIME!
