I am so sick of this line. Do you know who is an engineer on here and who isn't?
Do you think all engineers are great ones. Do you know how many lazy engineers just steal old poor designs because it's easier to do so? I'd rather take advice from an auto mechanic who has seen 100's-1000's of the same model throughout it's maintenance life and take his word over some engineer.
Did you ever read the advertising slop about testing a new car for 3 million miles and sweating all the details
and on and on. You go test drive the car and in 30 seconds you realize they got all the ergonomics wrong and in no way did they even sweat any detail?
When auto companies put out new engines that use 1 quart of oil every 700 miles do we also refer back to them for what suitable oil we should use?

OK . . . let's change it around the other way. Let's say the OP has no choice but to use 0W-20 because the 5W-30 won't fit into the bearing clearances. You happy now ?
Id just like to know why you think you're smarter then an engineer lol
