Come on, CATERHAM, this is not true at all. 2.6 cP is nothing but the minimum HTHSV spec by SAE, not the actual HTHSV spec of the oil.
Here are some examples:
M1 AFE 0W-20 SN: 2.7 cP
M1 EP 0W-20 SN: 2.7 cP
Amsoil OEZ 0W-20 SN: 2.7 cP
Amsoil ASM 0W-20 SN: 2.8 cP
Redline 0W-20 SN: 2.9 cP
I gave 5 common counterexamples to the 2.6 cP, and they average to about 2.8 cP. If it's 99% 2.6 cP as you say, you need to find 495 different examples of PDSs that have HTHSV 2.6 cP.
Well first of all you can eliminate the non API RL and Asmoil and one of the M1 0W-20s (they're the same oil).
Compare OTC 0W/5W-20s and virtually all PDS HTHS spec's are 2.6cP.
