I have to agree on this one. Yes a 0Wx oil may have more shear down tendancies, so start with the 0W40 and is will shear done to something that is still better than what a 10W30 will provide over time.
And synthetic oils do not have the same amounts of viscosity index improvers that dyno oils require and it is the VII's that created the shear-down thing in the first place. Some early synthetics claimed to be multi grade with no added VIIs at all. With a blend of different synthetic feed stocks this can be done.
I wonder if group III oils like FakeTec(tm) need to use VII's to get multigrade. Those would present a shear down risk.
As for M1 10W30 being so great. I found that Mobil Delvac 1 5W40 reduced friction. My mpgs went up compared to M1 10W30 and the engine was quieter and smoother too (95SET). No more 10W30 for me. I use M1 0W40 in my 03 Aero and will try Delvac one day to see if I notice any difference.
