I understand the question but don't know the answer. I'm guessing 5W30 would work OK in all but the coldest climes, but if 5W20 gives more power and economy, would just as soon do that. How much money do people spend for a couple horsepower? If this can be had for free using a lighter weight oil, why would anyone be resistant to that?
