Hi guys, i was browsing information regarding 5w30 vs 10w30 since i have been burning 5w30 ever since i put it in my 2004 silverado, where as 10w30 NEVER burned a drop even with extended OCI's (on conventional or otherwise)

Is this true? does 5w30 actually take 1/50th of a second to reach all the bearings while 10w30 takes 5 minutes?
