Default Re: 600w............enough is enough!

OK, I have read thread after thread on this subject. Lots of experts and opinions. My question: had anyone experienced a failure by using modern lube such as 85 - 140?

No!

Nobody has had a failure from straight weight oil, synthetic or even detergent oil. No failures from corn head grease, penrite, or STP.

No failures from MMO or Deisel in the fuel.

This is what makes for all the responses to these questions. If using something would always cause a failure it could be eliminated, else it is just a personal opinion.
