Thanks for adding some tangible info to the thread.

That's a whole bunch of incorrect info right there. It has all been discussed at great length in the bearing thread.
Oil weight does not have anything to do with pulling oil away from the sump pickup either. |
Possibly, as it is my unscientific/unproven opinion.
However with all the people saying 10w-60 is wrong, you people advocating 0w-40 don't have enough proven/scientific facts or miles to claim that 0w-40 is better and by how much?
Care to enlighten the community on why a lower engine oil psi wont have a catastrophic effect in high load situations? From my experience most NASA racers use a oem engine and run oem oil. Built motors? Yes those guys might want to tailor their oil for their motors adjusted tolerances. But even most racers racing factory sealed motors to the ragged edge use OEM recommended oil.
