0w20 same as 0w16 have all been designed in order to reduce friction losses within the engine which in return would improve fuel consumption. Automobile manufactures need to comply with certain regulations (CAFE) therefore are forced to spec the cars to use low viscosity oils. And I'm not against 0w20, I use it with pretty good success in my wife's Honda Pilot. What I'm against is spreading false information and flooding the forum with useless posts. Done here as well. Do your homework before posting, will help your credibility in a long term.You are completely either misreading what I have written or just... never mind. I never said 0w20 is exclusively for turbo engines, other grades also can be used for turbos, what I did say is many brands have designed synthetics, including 0w20 to protect downsized turbo charged engine's. Ever heard of the turbo coking test? Look it up. Mobile 1, Amsoil, Pennzoil and other brands perform this test on 0w20 and other grades as well and certify their oils to protect turbochargers. Now if you stop misrepresenting what I wrote I wouldn't need to keep responding to you. But one thing, I am curious as to why you are so against people using 0w20? Has it offended you in some way? Did you slip on it or did it try to drown you? Enquiring minds want to know
In the end, the companies that produce these oils state in their marketing as well as technical documentation that their 0w20 protects engine's, including those with turbochargers. That's all I have to say, Im kinda done talking about this subject
