Yeah, it's nonsense. Every single engine that uses 0w20 blows up after about 50k miles.
.... I hope no one took this seriously. Thinner oils are better for all engines.

That’s not the nonsense I was referring to. Try again.

You tell me. You have almost 20k posts on here. Obviously you know something that the others don't about my UOA...

Don't delete it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a topic being repeated over and over as new members show up all the time. The only folks who seem to get hurt feelings are those with a lot of posts. Those who don't like it or approve can ignore it.
I agree with you that -20(or -16) is for CAFE. Mostly. A large % of vehicles are grocery getters and never run hard so a -20 is sufficient. On the other hand, lots of Honda vehicles have run just fine since the 90s on a 20 grade oil.
Go have a look at the Penrite Australia oil recommendations, where they're more concerned with vehicles lasting; different specifications than US.

Its a valid topic to most folks it seems like. If someone been here so long they are seeing so many repeats its harming them in some way.... maybe they need the classic "time out."Don't delete it.

I wouldn't say I run mine "hard". Its my A to B work commuter. However I do like to spool the wind machine a bit and run it through the gears from time to time.

Ive look at a few of his replies on various threads. Arrogant is the vibe I get. Oh well.

Are you also going to make sure that you use SM rated oils?
Let me welcome you to BITOG, trash.
Rites of initiation...trolls can be a problem...no oil bull around here.
Please tell FB I use state-of-the art 0W8 in a Honda spec'd for 0W20 'round here.

There was a member here (can't remember who) many years ago that destroyed a 20W-50 spec 80s or 90s era Jag within a very short time by experimenting with 0W-20.

I know someone who ran 0w20 in a Subaru STi engine and it destroyed their main bearings. They honestly thought it would be okay because of the PAO content of the oil. Now I didn't ask but I have a strange suspicion that they had probably been reading a little too much into what some people say here on ole'BITOG
Check the OCI you may find that more interesting.
In fact, they don't even have a single regulation specifying it
Yes 0W20 / 5W20 is for better Corporate Average Fuel Economy. That's why car companies do it in the United States because of emissions. Pure and simple.
