I have presented all sorts of papers/evidence that off the shelf, modern motor oils labelled as having HTHS of 2.5 or more work well in automotive engines. It does not matter if, in use, there is shear or fuel dilution, they work fine. The thick people seem to say that wear can only be tolerated if the grade is a 40 or more and that they do not care about fuel economy. Fine, then use a 60 grade or thicker oil, as always stated, more MOFT = less wear. I am not denying it although it is not always directly related. And as mentioned in some of the scientific papers, even the investigators argue this point.
For many it must be difficult to understand that 1 nanometer of wear, nor twice that, 2 nanometers is still no wear at all, even though one is twice the wear of the other. 'Never thought it was a difficult concept but apparently it is. It is a political or religious thing I guess. No amount of evidence can convince the other side of anything. Anyway, I think I am pretty much done for now. I did the best I could.
Best wishes,
Ali
