I am surprise Ross has stayed out of this argument, he is usually very opinionated about motor oil and massage oil.

assume that an oil is to thin for a modern engine. Today's engines are an entirely different breed from those of 10 years ago. A lot of cars use to come with 20-50 as factory fill. More and more of today's high end cars are coming with 0-40, 5-30 etc.

I already said it once, and I'll say it again- 0-40, 5-30, and possibly 15-50 will do just fine as long as you use a decent brand and change it every 5k.

I think there is probably a lot of confusion out there about how a multi-vis oil actually works. Heck, I'm not entirely sure that I understand it.

I've seen a lot of good results with 0-40 (actual scientific analysis), and it seems to be working quite well in my car, so I see no reason to switch. I also trust Jorge's expertise (on cars anyways ;-) so if he says run 5-30 in your car, then run 5-30. The difference between the two is negligible in this climate.

Replacing filters gets expensive, so I just wash my filter out with soapy water, let dry, then reinstall. Works great for my shop vac filter! Is that bad?
