Default Re: To Oil or not to Oil?

Hi Kmh3:

___And again, why would you use that heavy weight oil? Longevity? What longevity are you going to gain from stressing every moving part in the ICE lubricated by that fraction of a ft.-lb more over the life of the vehicle? Vehicles do not fail because of high quality lubrication choices so why would you choose an oil that will lower your FE by way more then .1 mpg AND will not do anything other then make your ICE work harder? You are being taken Hook, Line, and Sinker w/ the BS linked.

___Good Luck
