Your statement big boy, now, as usual I will ask you to back your statements up...where have I expressed disdain against 0W20s, and particular TGMO
I admit disdain for the made up mythology that surrounds TGMO "the oil that we know most about", where "most is made up pixies riding unicorns spreading fairy dust...and that's where I call you out...made up "stuff" that you parade as science.

Fairly subjective as the ones that have shown shear you usually write off to fuel or other mechanical problem....and again, you qualified it with VI.
So I guess we are still stuck with one attribute not shared by OTC 0W20s...pretty much as I expected.
