As one oil company engineer once told me, single weight oils are only
good for engines that are constantly run, such as stationary
powerplants.

Oh, and my Corvair specifies a straight weight oil for use in the oil bath 
dust collector... makes those paper filters last about 3 times longer!
But for the crankcase, multi-weight, multi-weight, multi-weight! And a good 
one, too! I'm sure Bob Helt will chime in (if he hasn't already... maybe he has 
and I missed it!).
