But you should get confirmation on this.....

Who paid for this testing? Who owns this testing lab? Amsoil does,
You would be wrong - as is a LOT information in BITOG threads lately. No Amsoil does not own that lab.
A fellow was posting about his 2018 VW with Miller cycle 2.0T. Requires 0W-20. Recommended by BITOG? Majority were 0W-40, etc. Same people will tell you straight up a non-certified oil will violate warranty. No, but no doubt about it, incorrect viscosity oil will.
For this engine I recommend:
Amsoil OEZ 0W-20
Oil grade from the mfg. Is "only a recommendation" also states we recommend Honda oil" if they said you must absolutely use this oil,they would be required to pay for it under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act,
As another poster stated look to see what oil is being used in different countries I agree with him any turbo motor should run a 30 or 40 weight oil
