I don't know about you, but I don't believe things just because someone tells me something's true. I understand some of the logical arguments that get made, but I'm also not convinced that the so-called "oil experts" are considering all of the factors. Show me some evidence in functioning cars. Not some testing done on a bench. I'm more than open to change my ways if convincing data can be provided. At this point in time, I've seen no data that says my engine is better off with a different (thinner) grade of oil. I read a ton of opinions and anecdotes. That data however, will never be provided---either from the know-it-all experts or from the OEMs. So it's basically essentially a faith-based decision at the end of the day.
