but this could mean that the synthetic oil is working better because it's reducing the friction in the engine and producing a smoother engine..
current dino oils are pretty good but a good Group IV/V based synthetic will ALWAYS protect better than any dino oil, especially in such a high revving engine where the oil takes a good beating..

Maybe it's supposed to do that? To allow for the switch to the high performance cam? I don't know..

Why are people putting 5w oil in the car? Only reason I would do this is for winter driving....

This poll is for summer driving, as the question says. WHAT OIL ARE YOU GOING TO USE THIS SUMMER????

Marco, your right, the only going in my car in winter is me to cry at not being able to drive it!
