I remember years back when I first discovered BITOG back in 02-03 maybe (it was linked from 3si.org,a 3000GT/Stealth forum),everyone was recommending thicker grades (10W40,15W40,15W50,20W50,etc). Then the shift to thinner oils took over (0W20,5W20). Now thicker oils (5W/10W30-0W40) are again getting recommended for cars that spec 20wts.
Are people actually finding that thicker is protecting better? Or does thicker oil just "feel" better psychologically thinking it's protecting better?
I think I always used thicker oils because I grew up around the old schoolers using them. I've actually gone to thinner oils and favor the results.
Let the discussion begin
