Re: Oil motor ?

The only things I have against 0W oil in an older engine are A) More leaks since it seeps thru finer gaps, and B) Oil burnoff in the combustion chamber. The 0W base oil is only enhanced to 40W thermal protection thru additives, which degrade over time, so I just wouldnt trust putting this stuff in my engine unless I had no other alternative.
