"LAT has developed three New Ultra Light Racing Oils in SAE 0w2 and 0w5 viscosities for the ultimate protection and horsepower. Engines with tight tolerances will benefit from our oil with less oil drag and improved horsepower and torque. With LAT’s LFR additive and the highest quality Group IV and V synthetic base oils, you can expect big power gains and with LAT’s ultra-light viscosity racing oils. Features • High RPM protection • Reduces internal friction • Extreme wear protection • Maximizes horsepower & Torque by as much as 6%"
Hmmm....nice viscosity selection for their racing oils: 0W2, 0W5, 5W30 and 20W50

Neither of those are real grades though, as they don't exist in J300. We've seen "0w-5" from one of these outfits that appeared before 0w-6, 12 and 16 were ratified and it was actually the viscosity of a 0w-12.
At that point just put Ronsonol in it.
What? There is a 2020 Jetta over on VW Vortex with over 300,000 miles running {GASP} 0w20! I guess it didn't get the memo.
Yes, some Polo and Golf with 0W-20 used oil analysis often are better than regular LL 5w-30 engines. Thinner oil with proper additives often is better with a good engineering design. Yes, we should never put 0w-8 oil on engines that are not designed for it. Just make sure when buying 0W-16 or 0W-8 oil, they are indeed certified by an institute or manufacturers, not unknown brands. The fats that more Toyota and Honda burn oil with 5W-30 oil in the past than 0W-20 or 0W-16 these days should not worry us about thinner oil. Especially after the 2015 cars.
Many people thought they are smarter than the engineers and RnD on Oil and Engines amuse me.

You can't compare wear performance between oils using UOA's. A quick read of this article on the main page should bring you up to speed:
Used Oil Analysis - Bob is the Oil Guy
UOAs are a great tool in the Management of any machinery that uses liquid lubricants. Unfortunately, their real value is often misunderstood by those who contribute to BITOG. Firstly, it is important to realize that you get what you pay for. The most common forms of UOA are limited in their...

what exactly does mean "running" ?
because plenty of 6+y cars , where next owners complaining about high oil consumption.
sure, it still does roll down the street , but i wouldn´t call that victory.
How about @tig1 , a member here who has run multiples of hundreds of thousands of miles on various automobiles with a 20 grade oil and with no consumption or any issues? He also uses a 10k OCI.
If you don’t believe me you can search for his postings.
I think he ran Mazda engines?
My Mazda on xW20 didn't consume any appreciable amount of oil, at 125k miles (which isn't anything special).
I mean the engine is being fed proper spec 508 0w20 and operating as designed even with 300K miles. Does that hurt?
Wait someone has an engine with 300K miles that’s used VW 508 00 oil it’s entire lifetime?

That's what i was getting ready to post! I thought our SFS 2.0T had a lot of miles with 260K since 2012.
Doable I’m sure with a lot of highway miles, I just know what it took to get our vehicles there.
In the past, the main cause for oil consumption is degrading base oil and not enough detergent to keep the control ring clean. Logically, more stable 0W-8 have less issue if the antiwear for rod bearings, etc. is good. The film thickness is more important than the viscousity, this is the part that RnD on 0W-8 had achieved.
Film thickness is directly related to the viscosity.
Off course, but it depends on the additives and type of oil too.
Gasp….yes.
