lexuspartsdude - A 0W-50 oil have comparatively large amounts of viscosity index improvers in the oil, to take it from 0W to an SAE 50 when hot. The more the viscosity index improver, the less total lubrication available. Not good.

i dont really care about the 8 hp...as long as it keeps my bearings cool at 150 and dosnt chew them up im good...and i dont think ther the only ones who make straight 50w

this stuff is bullshiz. just get some amsoil 100% syn. no additives, full syn, in the manufactor recom. weight. Also, thicker racing oil takes longer to warm up and you don't need if youre not racing at high temps

totaly fake only an idiot would think that is true

[JayzBeerz]

Anyone with a Corvette what is the recommended grade of oil?

[Isaacbolly]

Amsoil 15W-50 Racing Oil all the way!!!!

Yeah, it;ll give you more Horses, until you blow it up. Companies don't pay engineers millions of dollars to sit around and eat shit.

Just trust what the manufacturer tells you, their rich for a reason.

@bentboybbz - They don't make a straight 50W and even if they did, you wouldn't want that...stuff...in your engine.

@Arai4lpinestars - I never said anything about damaging the oil pump. I did say that using an oil that thick can cause engine damage and void the warranty. An oil that comparatively thick will also increase internal engine drag, reducing power and fuel economy.

@JohnQuincyAdams1 damage my oil pump? I dont think so. My car is 09 with 100hp per liter N/A and stamped 5W-30 on the oil cap. Changed it to Eneos 0W-50 and took it to the track next day.

Arai4lpinestars - What kind of car do you have? A XW-50 motor oil used in an engine designed for a lighter viscosity oil can cause engine damage, voiding the warranty.
