Well mostly because I live in hot climate and I prefer the heavier weight over the water thin 0-20. Plus @k20z3allmotor who works on these motors all the time recommended it for people who are doing more than just daily driving. Im tuned and I run my car pretty hard. And lastly,0-20 is literally for EPA CAFE standards and MPGs. If you read the owners manuals for Euro cars, it specifically says if 0-20 isnt available 5-30 is fine. Now I'm not making any recommendations to anyone or saying one is better than the other but I believe my Oil Analysis, whether you agree with how fuel dilution is tested or not, still shows my engine to be in great shape :)

Interesting I didn't see that. So as you are using grade 30 did it affect your mileage. I know it's irrelevant to you as you are tuned and driving it pretty hard

So I got my FIRST oil analysis at 75k miles on my car. This sample has 7900 miles on it and needless to say, what oil dilution? I did the sample "cold" only 4 minutes of driving so that is where the trace comes from. Also Ive been tuned on @KTuner for 50k hard driven miles from base maps, to custom 93 and e30 tune and now TSP so you know I dont baby this engine. I'm extremely happy with this 3 years in and look forward to driving her for a few more years.

I just started using Penzoil Ultra Platinum last week at 43k miles. Hope it works out as well as yours.
