Nope.
I’ve seen some data from several engines in various conditions over the course of several years that shows a correlation between wear metals and viscosity. Most of these were UOAs that other people had done and I looked at, made mental notes of it at the time. Nothing I can provide evidence for at this point.
Perhaps I’ll revise my post so as to avoid further confusion.
The fact is, the Modular Ford will live a long life with just about any decent oil in them, be it a xx-20, -30, -40, or whatever as long as it’s within reason. I just suggest a 30 grade due to my experience with these particular engines and my own opinions on how they perform best.
