    I use 0w20 idemitsu, I think its a good choice because: 1) specs 2) price.and also mpg, from 4,5 l/100km droped to 4.0.

    And your point is......what exactly ??

    Despite what the oil companies might recommend, there is NO GOOD REASON to use those types of oil unless and until your engine starts showing signs of oil usage......and there are no leaks.

    I didn't say all oil of the same weight has the same additives nor performance were the same across all brands.

    I did not claim 100,000 miles "high mileage."

    My point is that engine oil makers categorize/considers engine over 75,000 mi as "high mileage."

    That is just a clue that you need to be a bit more careful with how you word things.
