Pag,  Multi-vis oil is NEVER  thick......the top number shows that LAB  
testing shows that it "PROTECTS"  as well as 50 wt  oil that is the same temp.  It 
does NOT  get thicker....just has the "film strength" of 50 wt.

COOLING??      20-30  deg.  does not make MUCH  of a difference....AFAIR     
ALL  oils today can take 24 hrs. at 280 deg.!  Before breaking down...
I monitor oil temp  at the pressure switch cavity...just before it goes to 
the bearings.....Dino.....170-210  deg.
