So what if the viscosity starts out high whats it going to hurt maybe a tad drop in mpg

No I'm thinking the dealer whos ripping him off. Example the money he shelled out for diagnostic and the posted photos they gave him.

Come on man!!!! Its not just the air in the tires. Its whether they did the PDI.

How about after the driver door is closed and a foot on the brake pedal to initiate the prime.

If I was having the fuel dilution issue yes I would

Bearing clearance will determine oil pressure depending on viscosity IE: A high milage engine experiencing a drop in oil pressure because of wear can be offset by running a higher viscosity oil. Increased oil temperature and risk damaging bearings my experience never happened

I think the boogie man is the dealership he paid for inspecting the blown motor. My experience brought a car with a rod knock into the dealer car was under warranty they pulled the pan and found a spun rod bearing I didn't have to pay for the inspection. I had made some mods a different carb and...
