    Oil wear testing

    Have done some searching and couldnt find any wear test results for different oils. Can anyone tell me if anyone on BITOG has done any wear testing, and how to find it? I would think that on a forum like this someone would be doing some testing. Thx in advance.

    changing from synthetic to conventional in dodge c

    I'm under the impression (from other mechanics) that conventional protects better because of larger molecules as compared to synthetic which has smaller molecules. The bigger molecules "cushion" the bearings better or something? Anybody know if there is any truth to that?

    5w20 vs 5w30

    Why do we put oil in our engines? To PROTECT it. Right? To prolong the life of the engine. ????? You don't have to be a scientist to know that. It looks like a-lot of people here are pretty vague. But some at least wing it and try to give a halfway reasonable answer.
