They put more strain on your suspension components basically and if not installed correctly have potential of completely failing (breaking off the studs). This is just what I’ve read for years on forums and what I found from a simply google search. -
They can speak the truth ( and for arguments sake lets say they are speaking the truth based off of real data they have generated by UOA's and dyno data etc ) and inform those interested in their efforts such as us being remotely interested in what goes on under the hood so to speak. And their own gain as in the ones producing the videos, often comes down to money gained from viewership or in a round about way by prompting their business and expertise. Besides, it was GM themselves that came out with the technical bulletin to have owners of certain years of 6.2 engine to come to the dealership for a pico test of the engine and if it passed that then the engine was "officially" given the stamp of approval to switch over to the new warranty approved use of 0W-40 oil. GM could easily have just done the pico test ( or do nothing and pretend there was no problem with the engines ) and sent them back out the door and never utter the words 0W-40 relative to the 6.2, to ever see the light of day but they did ... Of course in Lake Speeds situation I imagine its a lot of dollars out of his own gained funds from youtube ( and he clearly states that as well ) that he turns around and puts back into paying these specialty oil testing facilities to conduct testing to come up with results from such testing. But at the end of the day the percentage of the driving public that see these videos are probably fairly small, no different then a forum like this as only so many GM owners have any interest in reading posts on a GM forum. -
Makes me wonder what motivates these so-called experts (in their own minds) to make all these videos against 0W-20 Oils? They will never change OEM's from recommending it. Got to be making $$ somewhere from these crusades? -
I'm just amazed there's any interest at all after their track record the past 19 model years. How many years did people get screwed by AFM? Then the 6.2 debacle ... and the variation from Ford's exact 10-speed that works fine, but GM had to take it and screw it up as usual causing yet ANOTHER failure mode ... and the list goes on! From my perspective this sounds like a company with contempt for its customers. I vote with my wallet. -
A 5mm slip on spacer is no big deal. I run them with my summer aftermarket 20" wheels. There's a LOT of thread still. It's not like you only have 3 or 4 turns of the lug. Been running this setup every summer for the past 5 years with no issues. I run true spacer/adapters in the winter with the stock wheels. 2" spacers that bolt on to the stock lugs and wheels bolt on to the lugs on the spacers. Again, 5 years with no issues.
