Agreed. This discussion is great, though I'm not sure if my original question has been answered. For a fixed application, let's use my N52 engine as an example. Does it make any difference to use an oil that runs 10-20F hotter (or cooler, either way) than another. So if Castrol 0W-30 runs at 210F and Mobil 1 0W-40 runs at 230F, does it matter?
Would more data be needed to really answer the question? (UOA?)
