mrarroyo is correct. Many do not take into consideration that too thick an oil may be harmful for the reason he mentions. Oil must get into very thin spaces upon high compression and needs to be thin enough to do the job. Thicker oil can actually leave some parts unlubricated and under extreem heat and pressure. The key is to find the perfect balance.....
