claims. Is a single weight much better than a multi-weight oil? I would think a strait weight would be better .

There are much better choices than straight 50W. Check out the 15W-50 oil from Synergyn. This is a really excellent motor oil that will give you 50W performance at high temps, superior lubricating properties, and reasonable lubrication on colder startups. More information can be found at:
