Re: What weight oil?

I have heard urban legend type rumors that the thinner oil lets the manufacturer claim higher MPG numbers. The theory being that there is less internal drag with the thinner oil and if protection suffers it means more $$ in part sales. Doesn't seem to ring true, as engines are pretty long lived these days.
