Subject:Oil viscosity ??'s

Hello,

I am wondering if it is okay to use a 5w-30 motor oil in our waterboxer
motors. I know it is way thinner than the 20w-50 that i use now, but the
gas mileage and power gains are appealing. Is there enough oil pressure
at fwy speeds with the 5w-30at running temp? Any input about this is
appreciated.

Thanks,,
Joe
