"help" in chasing an EPA mpg rating that car could barely maintain
going downhill with a tailwind...NEway, I like 30 and I like 40 even better,
as in Mobil One 0W-40...or, pick your brand of synthetic.
These oil threads, while slightly interesting, have become as ubiquitous
and as frequent as the monthly lunar cycles. And, they elicit about the
same opins and anecdotes and arguments, imo.

My applogies....
... I was asked and responded to a question. I did not start this thread as a way of steering anyone in any particular direction.
It was well researced, grounded in solid facts and based on 20 years of experience which includes but not limited to field trials, bench engine tests, rig tests and personal investigation and diagnosis of field failures.
However, rest assured, I will not make that mistake again. I would hate you to have to take the time to disregard my "opins and anecdotes and arguments" again.
That would be dreadfully tiresome for you, imo.
