The TLDR is that with 5w-20, engine happy and better protected at full temp and during spirited driving without sacrificing anything but a few MPG's during your first 15 mins or so while it's warming up and that running super thick oils just for the hell of it isn't a great idea.
Yeah, I autoX once a month during summer months. Not sure if I should switch over or keep my OEM weights? I'll figure it out... I don't drive the car much, only on weekends to get bagels or breakfast for the wife and kids- which I look forward to all week.
