I have never as much as spun a rod bearing in 40 years and used them all with excellent success. Thing about 30WT, its always 30WT even after many miles/time. Same can not be said for multi weights.
For the vast majority, the most important thing about your oil is just picking a good one and changing it.
No magic involved with oil.
I was referring to the viscosity of engine oil, and considering your findings i guess you must have peaked in an owners manual at least once.
Cheers!
