To be honest with you, sometimes experience trumps scientific, hard data.
I am not saying that is the case here, but I think that is the distiction you are trying to make.
While interesting and enjoyable to banter back and forth like this, the evidence
suggests that our engines (specifically the 1FZ-FE) like a somewhat heavier oil and has been discussed here
ad infinitum if you search through the archives.
If you search under the user name "cary" or "Raventai" you will see why some of us do use a heavier oil, even though scientific data suggests that we should not or that a lighter weight oil might lubricate better (and I'm not saying that they don't).
There are plenty of "do this" and "don't do that" types of threads in the 80 section. We are slightly factional here--and in the other sections of MUD as well. As a large, diverse community, there are bound to be different opinions, sources of data, as well as methods of testing that data, and even different definitions of what each of those might mean.
Anyway, I see what you are trying to impress onto the conversation started by the OP.
Regards.
