The other thread was locked before I finally had a chance to ask the real question I was trying to get to.
You see, first I wanted to establish that identical engines connected to manual transmissions or automatics wore differently and had different stresses placed upon them. I think there was pretty good evidence in that thread that they did.
So the question then: How should engine oil recommendations differ as to viscosity, etc., depending upon transmission type?
