This forum is the only one, out of a half a dozen or so that I visit, that people seem to have a had time understand oil, how it works and why.

Please, post up SPECIFICALLY WHY you, or whomever, believe that the thicker oils are better and/or why the 0w30 and/or 5w30 are "too thin".
After that I'll repost with the corrections

You do understand, don't you (though obviously not that oven 0w (as in 0w30) is too thick at startup (assuming the engines cooled down) 0w is too thick at even 100*F, so why in the world would anyone want to use/recommend anything thicker, as in 20wxxx for any climate conditions.......
