That's still absolutely worth it to me though.
Plus you can't beat $26 for 5qt jugs. ~$50 for oil per oil change? Win

Yes, I am sold on the 0w40 at least compred to Redline 10w60. Compared to TWS... it's a small improvement. I'll see how it does. I love the willingness to rev!
The weather has been about 35-40 degrees F in the early morning here so it's cold but not freezing. Warmup time is about the same for me. I've only been looking at temps going to 210 so maybe it's as you say - where the temps go up faster in the first 1/3 and then take the same time to 210.
I'd really love to see some oil analysis on the 0w40. Better yet someone who has lead/copper in their oil before with TWS and is now gone with 0w40. No one knows yet if 0w40 helps the rod bearing problems.
