It's not about saving a few bucks.

It's about evaluating all options to find one that reduces rod bearing wear. I could care less whether or not I save a few bucks or even pay more. I want the lowest wear numbers on UOA so I'm not swapping rod bearings at 60K.

If TWS is the holy grail of 10W-60 oil it should return the lowest wear numbers and I plan to let UOA be the judge. In my mind the biggest risk in just assuming TWS is best.
