I am backing off my life long assertions that thicker is better. I always wanted to see oil pressure and if I didn't get it, I'd up the antie with higher viscosity. I just bought a Dodge 1500 pu with a newly designed 4.7 cu in V8. OEM recommended oil for all driving situations is a palsy 5w-30. That's puke oil...... well taint so any more. I invite you to brouse www.allpar.com/mopar/47.html (not affiliated with mopar) where they do a super job of telling you just what's in this new engine design from the 40 year old designs that were it's predecessor. Specific mention is made of tolerances of like .000015 inches (ok maybe it's only .00015 but so what....that's mighty tight) and oil pump passages specifically designed for the recommended 5w-30 recommended oil. So if it's old iron so be it. It gets the viscosity. But on my new mills I'm gonna break with tradition and do what the mfgr says........who knows, he may be more interested in your satisfaction (and future sales) than he is in just meeting EPA standards.
