Is there a comparison chart anywhere please?. I believe Losi is a bit thicker meaning 30wt losi is different to 30wt associated. I'm sure I've seen a chart somewhere, but cant find it now.

Thanks

because ive bench tested oils to see if there was a difference.. and there was. it's also known through most racers that there is about an extra 5wt in losi oils compared to AE.

Well all I can say is that a £10k calibrated viscometer, in a temperature controlled room found no difference.

So that table says there is a 2.5wt difference, above people have said there is a 5wt difference, I say there is no difference.

The page that is oftern linked to has a similar table at the top of the page, but at the bottom of the page they have done some temperature testing and that suggests there is no difference.

I say it doesn't matter, so long as you stick to one brand or the other.

Don't take it too seriously!

Take chill 'pill' to come down about 10wt and lighten up! Ho-ho-ho
