Oil weight for 5.3? 0-20 no good?
Well I'd like to see evidence of any kind that actually quantifies if/how much better 40 is for longevity. Lots of speculation. There are millions of non-GM vehicles out there running 0W20 for over a decade without issues.- vcode

BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87
So you only had 2500 miles on the oil you sent in? Would be real surprised if they find anything bad at that mileage.- vcode

Thickness and viscosity are related, but only viscosity is definable. It is the resistance to flow. Generally speaking, a thicker liquid will not flow as fast as a thinner one on its own. Put it in a PD pump and it will flow the same per revolution, but the more viscous fluid will require more...- vcode

BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87
But if you read between the lines, it clearly states it's the oil...... LOL! Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Subaru, GM, Ford, Stellantis, and others all use 0W20. The roads would be littered with broken down cars if this oil was as bad as claimed. It's way better than the 5W30 dino I used in my...- vcode

Run what you want. But Ford calls for 5W20 in their 5.0L pick-ups and Dodge Ram's with the 3.6L or the 5.7L Hemi call for 0w20. Guess none of them were tested in Death Valley......- vcode

Chevy has a whole line of 1500 W/T work trucks. I never see them at the dealer as they are usually special ordered and in the back lot waiting for a commercial customer. The county/city/village here use 1500's as well. We have mall crawlers here in WI, but it's not an epidemic! There was a guy...- vcode

Yeah, 5W30 on dino oil. At least that is what my 2010 used. I can't imagine that is much better than 0W20 synthetic.- vcode

Yet there are millions of 5.3L's out there that have traveled billions of miles on 0W20 with no issues. Go figure......- vcode
