OK-- Stated in earlier arguments and hinted at it here.
Agree or disagree-- Fewer vi's mean the base oil in a 5w20 is "stouter" than the 5w30.
As far as Wemay's defense of "conventional, (whatever that is with SN+), I've been influenced by the Blackstone guy's statements that he's seen no advantages to running synthetics in the real world (and he personally does whatever meets specs). At ten bucks including a new filter, I can afford to sit in a waiting room every five thousand miles, which with all my post retirement running around-- about 22K a year, comes pretty quickly.
