<VV> multigrade oils..

[Bill Elliott]

I'm having difficulty reading your coded emails. ;-)

Are you trying to say that a 5W-50 will be burned at a higher rate than 
a straight 50 weight? Or that the cold viscosity changes with age more 
quickly than the hot viscosity? Or that an engine will burn or leak a 20 
weight oil more quickly than it will a 50 weight?

I can agree with just one of those.
