Ok, so in a weird mood and something crazy popped in my head...this whole thick/thin oil argument...
So, from what I gather, some say that the thin oils are just for CAFE...fuel economy...ok.
Other say that thick is better for long term wear...ok.
But here is the thing...some of those for thick say that the thin oils can cause more wear...how???
Thin oils are supposed to provide better mileage due to less pumping effort, but those on the thick side state it causes more wear...
Doesn't this imply that it would allow more friction? Isn't that counter to the whole 'thin oils allow the engines to be more efficient' argument?
