marketing is so wacky sometimes! CFM and AFR determine power, and 0w16 'drags' less than 0w30 - I'd like to know how they justify their claim..

Are you gonna use a 0w16 in a Xw30 specd engine or vice versa?..prolly not. So it's relative, I think that's how they can get away with it? (whether or not internal data supports such claims is an entirely different matter but probably something you're not likely to ever get your hands on, outside of independent lab testing, or unless you decide to sue them.. and suing big oil?.. good luck with that)

I dont condone using viscosities not supported by the climate I opperate my vehicle in, irrespecive of what the OM might spec. SAE tells us that viscosity is determined by climate.
I dont want to sue anybody, but I bet you 10 million dollars that the product in question does not 'maximise engine performance' - Im just being open about how I think their claims are not correct.
