While I agree, money in people's pockets may be a factor in the recommended viscosity, I wouldn't assume 5w30, or whatever viscosity you decide to use, is ok because of this. I'd sleep better at night knowing I am using the viscosity that is suggested on paper for the engine. |
0w20 is prioritized for gas economy first and protection second. Obviously, the protection 0w20 provides in high-heat turbo protection is "good enough", but it's more about pleasing Congress (CAFE). 🖕🏻Congress
