It's not very much of a change. If you torture a VI calculator into giving a VI for water it's about 440. With those low viscosity numbers and fantastic VI, the 0W-20 folk will be wetting their pants with joy.
Plus, you can make real Kool-Aide with the stuff.
I've designed journal bearing that run on water, but not for engines
