Well, It's what I want in my cars, I don't know if everyone wants it, but it's what everyone gets eventually since it replaces the non-FS.

What's your reasoning behind wanting the FS labeled oil versus the older stuff

I think the actual Film strength is stronger and will take more pressure to wipe through it even though the viscosity is slightly thinner.

hard to imagine any temps above freezing where a thinner viscosity of 0/40 would better serve this motor. but if greater 'film strength" roughly equates to a higher shear temps, than more be better says me lol
