Wouldn't the best but gutsy idea, use the 0-16 when the motor is new, then switch to 0-20 as it ages, and finally even something thicker when it is really old and tolerances have opened up. This one size oil recommendation for life of the motor from 0 miles to 300,000 miles seems simplified for the masses.
