20x engine wear when cold - Do we all need block heaters?

[Matt878]

Engine block heaters will help get the oil circulating quickly, making cold start effects lesser, but won’t resolve them entirely.
The oil is in the pan, still has to make its way up….for a little bit of time it’s still metal on metal but EBH def helps!

Ahhh yes totally unbiased site with amsoil plastered everywhere

Meh…. I just post information. If you’re so bent on trying to rebuke everything why bother? I was just trying to post objective information. If folks want to try or not try, it’s up to them. A third party testing site of your choosing would make a difference? Probably not. I’m sure the auto parts stores love your business. If you don’t like the stuff no one cares.

You post sales literature. Not information.

Having the oil heated definitely won't hurt. If you have been using synthetic oil for some time, you'll be surprised how much protection against friction you really have.

Useing an oil priming system such as accu sump (sp) that primes the engine with oil to prevent dry start ups. Dry start up where no oil psi is present is wear most damage occurs. Dry bearings and journals are where engines wear most. Prelubing the engine eliminates that and prevents wear at start up reguardless of oil used as long as oil viscosity is correct for temps engine operates in.
