Oil doesn't harm engines; oil protects. Different oils/viscosities have different optimum operating parameters. I am guessing after a few hundred thousand kilometers one might be able to detect the difference in engine wear to using different oils.


5.5 litres with oil filter replacement , 5.2 without.
