This forum's responses are pretty much always directly related to how a new member posts. Post a reasonable question or comment no matter how silly in respectful and social manner and you will get reasonable responses. Spam all 5 year dead threads on a subject on the site with cut and paste "I am smarter then the designers of the car" (paraphrased) and you can expect some unwelcome feedback.

according to da googel, it's got the same boiling point as water, so there's nothing there but bragging rights.

Fair point. It's my daily, so it doesn't get beat on on a regular basis. If I were to ever track the car it definitely wouldn't be on any 0W-20 or without some preventative measures in place. As for just racking up daily miles, given the chance of putting in too much trying to get a perfect fill, I'm comfortable with making sure it's somewhere above halfway between the notches to touching the full notch. And if it doesn't move from that level across half a year and/or 7,500 miles, or show any bad signs on oil analyses, I'm not going to stress about it.
