Ya,i oso heard that redline 5w30 is not bad,but the other 2 looks pro to me too,so i guess i got to find out from all bros here then,my ge6 fit 08 can use 5w30 at 28k svc? how come other drivers choose 0w40 or other grades which make me blur :?

w40 more protection. So if u drive very hard or mileage high liao then go for w40.

not exactly true lah.. while a thicker oil may provide more 'protection' another factor has to be how easily the oil flows through the parts, i.e. the viscosity of the oil. Thinner (e.g. w30) oils move faster and easier, dissipating heat from the 'hot' parts faster than a w40 oil.
