I have read over and over that in a 'displacement' oil pump, flow is equal across viscosities.
But, concerning the flow of oil in between tightly fitting bearings, parts, etc inside the engine, a thinner oil would flow into those tight spots quicker, wouldn't it?
Particularly, if some areas are not getting oil as a direct influence of pressure, then gravity alone is carrying the oil into the part, correct? If that is correct, the speed at which oil reaches these parts not in the direct path of the pressure would be dependent on the oil's 'resistance to flow' (viscosity) correct?
This scenario where a part depends on gravity alone to receive oil may not exist in a practical sense. I don't know, just putting this out there.
