slant 6 oil weight

Control oil pressure by the weight of oil ? WTF are you talking about, if you have to run 50W to get 5 lbs of oil pressure... Dude I don't believe people here are that stupid. You work for CNN. LMAO

Yes, lots of folks "adjust" oil pressure by changing viscosity because not everybody has the time/means/desire to rebuild an otherwise OK running hobby car, if it ain't burnin' a qt. every 500 mi. and leavin' a haze why? In a perfect world You wouldn't, but it ain't a perfect world for most, so increasing viscosity to bump the frictional factor/volume demand is acceptable to most.
And regardless of CNN's MO or agendas, not every employee of CNN shares those, let's leave that crap out yet another "What oil do I use?" thread.
