On the other hand.... you may crater that valve-train.
Never Cratered a valve train let alone know what that even means (lol) and I don't think I want to find out, well then 5w30 it is then but which though since I've always been a RP believer but I'm open to try any other oil that's why I asked between mobil 1 or Castrol edge
