An episode with Lake Speed.
Clift notes
Stop/start reduces fuel dilution which reduces oxidation. Fuel dilution causes more wear than S/S.
Long drain oils can be formulated to initially drop in grade and rely on oxidation to increase viscosity as the miles accumulate
Low viscosity oils in many cases perform better in city cycle driving vs thicker grades. There's no difference in highway.
OE's slow down the rate at which oil moves through the engine when using thinner oils
