He could save a lot of money by just pouring distilled water in.

What a concept! Slippery water. Oops, water isn't especially slippery though.
We have not yet seen the end to the trend to thinner (lower viscosity) oils. More is yet to come.

I'd like to see the UOA! It might work in some vehicles.
Can we try some soapy water instead? (supposed to be slippery)? or some KY-liquid (lol!) instead of 0w10?
Jokes intended!

Your response makes you sound like the farmer that wont use detergent oil, too new, not proven, yet. I was at a Porsche event at Willow and there were several cars running that same 0w-10 oil in air cooled six cylinder cars. One of them said he worked at the company in Santee. It was really hot that day and it's a very fast track, with long sweeping turns and fast straights. If you think distilled water is an answer, are you sure you're in the right place?
It's called sarcasm....Need a Websters?
Why not just use paint thinner instead?
Why not? If the engine is built for it and it's proven by the manufacturer (oil and engine) that the engine can survive long term on an oil with those specs I'd say it's just fine.
If the engine(and accessories) are designed for it, I'd say no problems.

Keep in mind that technically, according to J300, there is no such thing as a 0w10. If this oil has a HTHS of at least 2.6 it would be classified as a 0w20. Running this oil at 248°F is like running some 10w30s at 284°F.

Good info, 427, how does it stack up to paint thinner?
Heh.
6.94, huh?
I this here [1] UOA I had a 5W20 thin out to 7.05.
Still a 20 weight for all I can tell.

Anyone using 0w-10 on the street. Just met a guy with a TSX, heavy enging and suspension mods, that hammers the car, got 11k miles with no problems, so far. The oil is Maxium4 Ultra, a synthetic from a small company in California. This guy sez there are others, with expensive engines using this stuff.
I use WD40 in my engine to reduce oil pump loss. I also use water in my aautomatic transmission because I think it makes things run cooler. I also use carbon fiber silverware because it lets me eat faster. When I crap it looks like rainbow sorbet.
All this super thin talk is getting on my nerves. Better additives is the only reason we are able to use oils as thin a we currently do. It's just common sense that a thicker fluid is harder to push out of the way. But if you can make it thinner and give it a shot of something like moly, then it may protect as well or better. However, I think some guys are just getting out of hand.

Nope. Additives play a role, but if it were not for current Group II+ and Group III base oils, you wouldn't see 5w20 oils spec'd by car makers.
Remember, when Mobil 1 first came out in the mid 70s it came in one grade: 5w20. It was the PAO base oil that enabled Mobil to create a 5w20 which, according to their advertising at the time, protected better than a conventional 10w40.
So we've settled it, Maximum4 0w-10 is really a 0w-20 and their 0w-30 is a thick 0w-20....
Get their phone off their web site and call tech assistance, I think you want Danny. There are people using this oil on the street with good results. On another thread I posted some info on a guy with a TSX, highly modified engine that gets hammered and he has about 10k miles with no problems on a 5-6k oil change interval.
