I can imagine sport driving style with 20W-50 oil, has our morot so many tolerances?

The fuel consumption won't affected?

not sport at all just normal summer driving

I'm back to the topic with more data.

I was going to record more videos but winter conditions and some other obstacles in life have prevented further input.

 

I went to a trip to that road I've mentioned in this topic.

I've almost recorded every detail I've been telling you along with real-time gps data.

 

First here is some general data about the car for the upcoming videos:

 

- 1993 Skoda Forman LX (I'm owner from January 2021. Multiple previous owners. Unknown milage. I found an old bill when working inside the car. That indicates 160K Km dated 2004) Current mileage over 130K.

- The car has LPG system installed. Dual fuel capable.

- VW Vento 5.5" steel rims with 175/70 R13 summer tires. (Factory standard is 165/70 R13 with 4.5" steel rims.)

- Full three piece water shield in the front bottom. Plus, there is a 10Kg plate shield covering all engine/transmission area.

- Renault 12 distributor with custom high-power ignition.

- Stock gearbox with 4.167 final drive.

- Felicia 1.6 radiator, fan and fan shroud.

 

 

First video: Including an example on my original post. See the part near end for that.

In the beginning the car is going on fifth gear, with the incline I drop to 4th around 1:20. Incline mark is %6 on this road.

After that it's pedal-to-the-metal 4th gear.

As you can see no easy overtakes like other cars.

Around 03:00 I drop to 2nd, then 3rd and 4th. Full throttle until the end of climb.

Second video is about the 10% climbing part:

In this video the car is heavier. There are 4 people inside with some luggage too.

Third video:

Fast run, top speed run on highway.

The car is on 5th gear full throttle. Near the end there is a long flat straight.

This part is mostly flat. You can check live altitude data on every video.

 

Under every video, there is data about car weight written in video description.

 

 

Some of the videos could be taken down due to the music in the background.

 

These are parts are from a 260Km road trip. Including fast highway parts and mountains. Total trip time is around 3 hours.
