So going back to my post where I quoted you, I asked (genuinely) if you knew something different than what we knew because of your "we get trained on this stuff and 5w30 is too thick".
If there are enough debris in the oil to clog up the screen mesh, it doesn't matter if the oil is 0w-20 or 10w-40 the debris will be an issue.

As for your second quote where I said I bet he was running super thick oil I was assuming he may be running 10w40 (because I have had people come into my dealership requesting to use their own oil which was 10w40). And for your next quote I never said they trained us telling us that 5w30 was too thick. You must have missed my other post or didn't want to quote that Idk. Like I said I stated I was trained on the matter of diagnosing the vehicle and know that the crank pulley doesn't cause a misfire code and that the crank sensor is on the flywheel side. If your saying oil wouldn't make a difference I'm clogging up the VVTI filter/screen you right but if you have something in the screen to restrict the flow, heavy oil like 10w40 won't help, to where a thinner base oil may flow a slight bit more.
