    MANY of the new consumption tolerances are 1/2 and full quarts every 1000 miles or so. the 5/20 and 0/20 oils burn off like mad. even the 0/40 in our SRT engines drains like friggin' water when cold. Also, my intake on the race engine was dry as a bone with only a mild residue. Never did figure it out completely but I sort of copied the Rehegan racing setup and the problem went completely away....yet I still found raw oil in the breather catch can when I pulled the motor. Nearly 1/3 quart. weird.
    Ah, fugg it.

    0W is supposed to be thin when cold, that's the point. Just like any oil being like water when warm. The perfect oil would maintain the same viscosity regardless of temperature. Also, synthetics flow better than dyno oils which can make them appear to be thinner than they really are.
