I agree, and 0w20 oils tend to be high quality. Keep in mind that this oil was chosen for daily use, NOT for track and constant heavy engine demand! For this a heavier oil is recommended. Its always better to go with the lightest oil recommended for the engine if you just daily drive (including spirited driving... Not constantly at WOT).
