“You're nuts if you run that "water" in a high revving, High HP/L turbocharged engine! I don't care if Honda specifies it or not, engine wear is not worth that .00001% MPG for CAFE!”
It is worth it if you gain FE and avoid wear and deposits with a thinner oil that has FAST WARMUPS (not just 1st in the morning but throughout the day) and adheres to engine so it is never lacking in oil from the get-go. your 5w-30 has to cool and heat and cool and heat each and everytime you turn the engine off whereas the 0w-20 sticks better due to better base stocks and always full synthetic and just works better. That is why you have an OLM and MMS so you dump the oil when it is no longer sticking and the viscosity has lot it's sticky and slippery ability.
It’s no wonder some of the better posters have left. Maybe you can explain how better base stocks make the oil stick, yet be slippery?
Use your head, sticky to stick vital engine parts while engine is shutoff (synthetics or the good ones are notorious for this) but slippery enough in operating conditions to keep engine parts apart and eliminate wear. c'mon self-explanatory, what is this Tribology 101. Nextttt, whose on deck...let me at em, i'll splat em (said metaphorically from scrapy in scooby doo)
P.S IT is also the basis for my like of this Idemitsu, low density formula oil, the startups are not as boisterous and it gets to idle super fast, is so smooth that you just know it is a slip in slide inside.
