Is this a true statement? I remember reading, on this site in the Oil University section that the wear saved from cold starts with thin oil was greater than the wear saved from a heavier viscosity.
Yeah, he also said that an oil that started at 10Cst cold was best, and that maybe the best oil was "addized kerosene"...absolute garbage.
Google his medical articles (his ACTUAL profession), and see if you would send your car to that plastic surgeon.
Well, about the only thing 0w20 “might” do better is “splash” (note I did not say splash lube) but I don’t see Briggs & Stratton push it and commercial lawn folks use 15w40 HDEO …
