I would rather hear a position that supports me using 0W-20 because this position does not please me. Anyone? Just kidding. I don't really know the differences at all or the pros and cons between different oils, just thought 0W would be the best on gas. I've seen AMSOIL tests and charts showing that they're better for the engine and prevents wear as well. What do I do now?
