more and more they are going to lighter oils to get the corporate fuel milege up (cafe).. If the engine will last over 100,000 miles then they dont care if it last longer. Actually they want to sell you another vehicle sooner as thats what they do. since 3/4 of the U.S. has cold starting winters, it also helps out there as well. Why in the world would gm or ford, want your truck to run for 300,000 miles??
Lighter oils can get you 2% better fuel economy and that across the entire fleet bumps up the average for the goverment requirements. Otherwise they have to go back and engineer smaller cars and more expensive technology on the engines to get it up there. Switching oil was a no brainer for the car companies.
