Vavoline VR1 20W50 Racing Oil

Of course it is. Who said anything different? Did I show up on your doorstep and force you at gunpoint to pour 5w30 into your engine? No, of course I did not. I'm just speaking up because your choice isn't a sound one, but it is (and remains) your choice, not mine.

lol... You're speaking up because your opinion is my choice is not sound. You post about fact vs opinion but say my choice "isn't sound" with no support for that conclusion. I'm sorry, what is that based on? What factual evidence do you offer to corroborate your .. um... opinion? I'd say you'd have a point if I had any oiling related failures in my engines. I don't. Ever. I've never lost a cam, I've never spun a bearing. Now I've made some mistakes and had errors in judgement, and do have parts failures occasionally but I'm human and if you do enough, those things happen. Lately for me it's been harmonic dampeners coming apart but there's no evidence of issues with oiling or bearings until the aluminum gets into the system. So if history can be introduced as fact, and I believe it should be, where are the facts that my choice are not sound?
Note I'm not asking about your choice as I'm well aware of your opinons. Just asking you to prove mine's not sound with facts I don't believe you have.
