That wasn't aimed at you either. I have taken note of your recommendations and take them into account accordingly. It was more aimed at those who think that thick oils are always better, but without looking in advance at the temperatures during operation

There are no reasons for a thick oil with this engine. Especially not at these temperatures.

In normal operation, it runs at 95C. If you accelerate from time to time, 105-110C maximum are in it. I think the viscosity is sufficient for this.

I know the differences between energy-dispersive fluorescence analysis and an ICP OES analysis, they do not need to repeat this constantly. But they also have to realise that the ICP analysis says more than they propagandise it forever.

Then you can certainly explain how the elements come about in the above analyses, if not due to wear. Especially where oxidation and contamination are also shown. With the eternal weather, your appearance won't get any more correct either.

I never claimed that this is the sole feature of little wear. However, practice proves this quite well outside the analyses. Therefore, I know quite well how to assess these analyses.

could give dozens of examples of high mileage and thin oils, all of which are available here. But I think then the next excuse comes from you. If oils are released for 0w20, then there is no more wear than with a sae 40, for example. These are practical experiences. Whoever says thicker is...

And I say it again, you can. And the practical examples, as available several times here in the forum, show this again and again how well and almost perfectly such oils work. If you doubt the measurement method and particle size forever, then this is nothing more than an attempt to look at thick...

I'll say it again, thinner oil for the win👍

Here I have a new analysis of our everyday car Honda Civic Type R. Despite the most massive fuel input and 0W20, the element analysis shows no abnormalities. The vehicles also run very reliably with such thin lubricants in Japan and the USA. In particular, I noticed the element iron in...

Where do they prove that engines with thin oils wear out earlier? Nothing but grey theory. We end this best, because no one wants to leave their point of view. Should everyone do how and what they want!!

Oil pumps with viscosity-dependent capacity are certainly not familiar to them, are they? How an oil volume flow can then be "equal" is a mystery to me. But I think they are smarter than the developers 😬

Gerne bleiben sie in den 80er stehen, wo dicke Öle noch „in“ waren. Aber vergessen sie nicht ihr Handy abzugeben 😬😂

And if it were only that, it would still be a gain. Why get fatter when kebab works? As far as I remember, the engines that need thicker oils are also these that are rather broken. I can think of bmw m engines that can't do 100000 even with the thickest w60 oils. Feel free to ask at every taxi...

I am still waiting for practical examples where engines with thinner oils wear out faster. Everything else is gray theory that questions the practical relevance
