Old oil = 5W-30
New Oil = 0W-20
To clarify my conclusion, for the three Saturdays since the oil change, the Battery Resting Voltage is higher with the lower viscosity oil.
Martin explained the science. Thank you, Martin!

My weekly Resting Voltage Readings have been stable since changing the oil and are above the voltage readings taken when using a 5W-30 oil.
Conclusion, thinner oil is what the motor needs and it responds accordingly!

Today the October Newsletter from Rock Auto arrived: www.rockauto.com/Newsletter/
I was not surprised to see an article on 0W-16 Oil as it has been discussed in many arenas of late.
