Who cares. Keep using your so called straight "weight" oil. Anyone that
uses "weight" as a way to discribe oil has already lost the argument anyhow.

Why is he wrong? I can't find one rational reason for
typical drivers to use straight 30 weight in a modern engine. For engines that are in more or less continuous service, there is a small cost advantage to running straight 30 weight, but I can't find any evidence that 5W30 doesn't provide superior performance to straight 30 weight of similar quality.
