Just talked to previous owner he said the gauge sometimes didn't work. He said its reads great while driveing but at idle sometimes it reads low. I'm gunna test it with a better gauge
I understand. I'm not using because it works in my truck. I'm using it because like u said above the low viscosity when cold. And viscosity when warm. That is why I'm using it.
