Currently running 10w-60, still burning oil pretty fast. Want to try Amtecol 9000N 0w-20. My gearing is fairly short so I'm turning almost 4k rpm on the highway, barely getting 21mpg, curious to see how much 0w-20 will help. Was also thinking, if the rings are worn, shouldn't a thinner oil be easier for the oil rings to wipe off the bore?
Most make pretty good arguments against using thin oils in motors not made for them, but I still want to hear what others think. I read something a while ago, that the bearings fill with oil, and because they're spinning so fast and oil is constantly being replenished, it's capable of sustaining much higher pressures. So thin or thick oil should be fine.
Worst case, I destroy my engine, m50's are everywhere for cheap, still hoping it doesn't happen haha
