      Single viscosity motor oils are much better than multi-weight oils
in as much as they provide better protection and increased longevity.....
there is a catch though...a single weight motor oil is better only as long as
the operating temperature does not vary widely.A multi weight is designed to
provide protection over a wide range of operating temps and thus is a com-
promise.Perhaps if you described your application I could be of more help.
As a rule I stick with single weight oils and change the viscosity as the
season demands...I have had good luck so far(many of my cars run reliably
to 200+K miles).
