(*) Note that it normally takes 2 hours for bearing temperature stabilize and the final temperature will depend on the ambient, r/min,
pumpage temperature and pump size. Also some oils have a greater Viscosity Index than the minimum acceptable of 95 (e.g. Mobil
DTE13M) which may extend the minimum temperature capability of the oil. Always check the grade capability where the ambient is less
than -5 ºC (-23 ºF).
