That's 100 PLUS MPH-doesn't every ERA run that way??

Really cool you can calculate that stuff-please post as it's interesting to see paper results and compare to real-world.

Yes the lines on an ERA aren't more than about 9-10' but together with cooler and pan plus ambient and speed you get chilly oil.

Fred's also on the right track with 10w-30 oil but after his testing, I hope he'll conclude it's just best not to drive when you need a parka on.

I just wanted to save him money and a round-in-circles project. He's already built the space shuttle of ERAs.
