Michael D: As I said, I don't have a problem so won't be looking at dry sumping my A7 any time soon! In my case I'm running a 6 pint sump and for now all I plan to do is run with a little less oil. I can only guess Austin conceived the Nippy for high speed 'endurance' type use. Yes multigrades do provide improved lubrication below normal running temperature, however running perpetually below design temp for the oil means lubrication is non-optimal and there can be issues with moisture accumulation. As I don't actually suffer tangible effects from any of these perceived problems I'm personally not in a rush to 'fix' them.
Bob: I quite agree, though I think supermarket multigrade alone is quite sufficient improvement for the needs of most A7 users.
