This is a cold start of my 1984 Ford F-250 6.9 diesel. It was about 30 degrees out and had been sitting three days.

Thinking about it now if you can’t do that when it’s cold swap in a different oil in Summer you should run 15w40 and winter 10w40 (synthetic) really once it get gets to +5 Celsius and colder you want to get that done
@TestECull Жыл бұрын
@@RandomPerson-te5rz With multi-vis oil you don't have to do that. A 10w40 is going to flow like a 10w oil when it's cold and a 40w once the engine warms up. This means you can use it any time of the year, even in the winter. You'd have a point if single viscosity oils were used, but that's generally not the case these days. This is, quite literally, why multiviscosity oils were invented in the first place.

@TestECull Жыл бұрын
Old diesel engines, even in tip top condition, are gonna struggle to start in cold weather. It's just in how diesel engines work. The engine in this truck has a fairly low compression ratio by diesel standards...only around 16:1-18:1...which means it's going to be difficult to light off when it's stone cold and the ambient temps are low. Modern diesels have much improved cold starting aids and much higher CRs...22:1-25:1...so they tend to light off a bit easier in colder temps. This engine being indirect injection also isn't helping matters much; modern engines are direct injection which does help with cold starting. Diesel engines are an entirely different animal to gasoline ones, and older diesels still compared to modern ones.

@@sambiker8492 Ye I bet if the glow plugs went wonky it'd be a bit fussy to light off. They were good engines, though, not the most powerful things in the world and noisy AF but dependable as can be and reasonably fuel efficient for the torque they made.
