Any links on those 'horror stories', esp any on 'our engines'?

Not to start another which oil is the best/which oil sucks thread...

Fwiw, I have used M1 5W-30 in our 10 1/2 yr old VetteVert, since day one,
and M1 0W-40 in our 11 1/2 yr old X for the past 6+ years; neither have hiccuped once engine-wise, and neither show any oil based malady.
