Arguing topics is what makes m3post interesting...you can hardly argue enthusiastically if you aren't committed to your position. It doesn't mean I wouldn't change my mind if successfully argued against, it just doesn't happen very often.
Anyway...I would be interested to know how the film strength of Mobil 1 0w40 compares to the Edge Pro 10W60. A high load point on the oil film occurs between the cam lobe and the valve buckets....its wouldn't be much of a benefit in using 0W40 if it gave better bearing wear but the valvetrain clattered like an old diesel 30K miles down the line.
