I attached Driven’s cheat sheet for their oils with different operating temps and oil clearance. Also a chart comparing viscosity in cSt versus temp (*F) between a 5w50 FR50 driven and 20w50 Valvoline VR1. The cSt is on the vertical. Driven FR50 is competition for Valvoline VR1 5w50, I would expect those two oils viscosity to be similar. Not far after about 150*F the 5w50 and 20w50 VR1 the viscosity looks similar.
