dont you guys think that 0w40 or 5w30 is really watery and if you drive and live in a hot climate then it's not too good for your engine, I put 20w50 it's tick and quiets my motor quite a bit and it doesn't turn into water like the 5w30 does

Dont want too heavy of an oil though when dealing with a turbo.
