I was easily putting 175,000 miles on plain car engines in the 70's with dinosaur base 10W30. Brand name, but no voodoo magic brands. Valvoline, quaker state, etc. Then the EPA came in and wanted the zinc out of oil. Then the engines started eating cams and cam followers. Another 2 or 3 oil reformulations and the cams seem to be ok.
Suddenly, some papers were issued from who knows whom, that said cars designed to be happy with 10W30 had to use 5W30, Then the EPA gets on the car makers for CAFE ratings, suddenly the car had to use 5W20. Now my oil change place is telling me that the "officials" determined all cars have to run 0W20.
I am told they have my engines have "tighter tolerances" and that they are designed for that thin **** water.
I checked, the owners manual and the EPA sticker under my hood does not say 0W-20 or 5W20. I am very certain the tolerances are not getting tighter as I drive it year after year.
I am willing to entertain this like the cash for clunkers, except the globalists want to take our cars away earlier to force us to mortgage our lives to go electric. I do not want to play the 100 mile dog leash game with the tyrants.
