Let's see it. I really am curious to see proof. Like I've stated before. If someone can show me tests done like stated above that show higher engine wear because of 0w-20 I will stop running it today.
As in some of your other posts that I've seen, you change the subject and attempt to post a "gotcha' response when it isn't what was being discussed.
Again what I and Bryanccfshr posted is correct. It is indeed MOFT that keeps parts separated and prevents metal-to-metal contact. Higher viscosity oils depend less on additives to keep an adequate MOFT. I suspect you know this already however.
