Love how some people think switching from 0w-16 to 0w-20 will ruin their engine.

I got busted for mattress tampering and still pulling my time.Sure sure .... but a year from now OP will be arrested for ripping tags off mattresses.

Or where your car needs a zero weight oil because you live in Brownsville Texas but 10 miles across the border down south you can use 5W30. Smh x 10000Love how some people think switching from 0w-16 to 0w-20 will ruin their engine.

The zero is not "zero weight", it just means it has the lowest Winter rating. The weight of the oil is still the number after the dash.Or where your car needs a zero weight oil because you live in Brownsville Texas but 10 miles across the border down south you can use 5W30. Smh x 10000
I know I'm just being difficult right now!The zero is not "zero weight", it just means it has the lowest Winter rating. The weight of the oil is still the number after the dash.
OKI know I'm just being difficult right now!
0w40/5w40 is a winter oil for me here in the frozen northeast. April to Thanksgiving it's 10w40 or 15w50.Good summer oil just how many times have you seen -30 on the wetside in Washington?
LOL!, our boat gets 5W-40, hahah. And it gets wound out harder than most cars. That old Windsor gets worked pretty hard.0w40/5w40 is a winter oil for me here in the frozen northeast. April to Thanksgiving it's 10w40 or 15w50.
Used in the Road Warrior's Pursuit Special ... Last of the V8 Interceptors, the iconic black GT Falcon.I'm still wondering about some of the crazier oil weights like 40 w 70! Leave it to Australia to come up with something like that! My assumption for that is for extremely hot climates with older vehicles.
Mostly if you use too thin of an oil during the conditions that put more punishment on the engine.The tolerances in a car won't stay tight forever.
Sure there is.....a wuhan whirlboi! 360hp/1.8L so 200hp/L....so 1K OCI? hahahaBrand name full synthetic 5w-30 for all normal climates. 10k mil oil change on older engines with enough displacement, 5k on all new engines with too little displacement. Ignore all the other noise, and live your life.
There is no replacement for displacement. Take the horse power and divide it by the engine size. If its more than 65 hp/ litre you go with 5k oci.
I used 25W-70 in my turbo Mazda. Then I went to the super thin M1 0W-50.I'm still wondering about some of the crazier oil weights like 40 w 70! Leave it to Australia to come up with something like that! My assumption for that is for extremely hot climates with older vehicles. The tolerances in a car won't stay tight forever. I can remember back in the day when I saw 10w50 and thought that was the new thickness.
Exactly, after warranty is over, it's only your problem.There is no question that 0w-20 has been brought about by CAFE requirements.
Is 0w-20 good enough to get them their MPG goals, yes.
Is it good enough to get the vehicle through the warranty period, yup
I stand corrected: Here's some data I found:What? One is a 20-grade whereas the other is a 40-grade. They do NOT have the same operating viscosity.
Regardless of what oil is being used?There is no replacement for displacement. Take the horse power and divide it by the engine size. If its more than 65 hp/ litre you go with 5k oci.

All I can tell ya is when I replaced M1 AFE 0w-20 with PUP 0w-20 the increased Density of the PUP was very noticeable. It seemed so much "thicker" that I may switch to PP 0w-20 for winter for easier starting. I don't wanna go thicker than the the PUP 0w-20 at this time. Just my experience with these 2 oils in my 17 Camry 2.5. YMMVRedline 0w20 w Hths 2.9. That's thick!
