I did a cold viscosity test between the B&M
and some Castrol DexIII. Used a fat syringe
as a graduated cylinder and timed the drip-
down. The B&M took 43 sec vs the Castrol
at 36 sec. What this all means relative to
normal operating temps, I dunno, but the
B&M is indeed thicker (at room temp). I
was thinking that maybe thicker fluid would
"tighten up" my converter some, but I guess
I already have the thicker one in there (unless
they "flip over" due to temperature viscosity
effects).
