        The number before the "W", be it 0,5,10,15,20 or whatever, has Little to No effect on the how the Internals of a Warm Engine Wear, it is

the Number After the "W" that comes into play in a Warm Engine or in a Warm Climate ~ I live in a WarmClimate & have always run 5W40 in my

H2OBoxers & have never had it cause any issues. Most of the ReallyDestructineWear that occurs in an Eng' happens during WarmUp so using an

Oil with a LowerNumber Before the "W" will cause MuchLessWear on an Eng' over the LongHaul due Largely to the fact that that Thinner ColdOil

can get into the TightSpots MuchEasier&Quicker ~
