Unlike Ferrari chat Dr Nobody, I actually build and rebuild my own engines and have seen what "light weight oil" does to them long term.

You just need to ask yourself this question, why does a Ferrari Engineer specify 10x-60 for a Ferrari Enzo as listed in his "article".

Less shear plane loading through low viscosity of course will lower oil temperature, it will also greatly increase oil consumption (ever seen a F1 smoke show, or wonder why they consume 6lt! of oil in a 200 mile race!!!!), it also vastly reduces the oil wedge separating steel and white metal, send any oil in for an analysis and you will want to punch Dr Nobody Ferrari chat in the face for his SHIT HOUSE ADVICE styled BDC & HC rant waste of finger typing prowess.


Believe what you want its the internet, just cause some **** does the worlds longest post and uses contradictory evidence while ignoring his own marks "opposite advise" is just fucking mad!

Oil 101!!! LOL

Pick what you want, good luck!
