No it doesn't, but it's enough that I won't use it. I use AMSoil SS0 0w30 and I get EXCELLENT gas mileage, the engine is more quiet and it feels like it has a bit more zip. It also is claimed to be able to go 25k miles or 1 year for non performance cars that are not driven hard.... my mother had it in her car for a year and I changed the oil and it still looked, felt slick and smelled fresh. It's all I will EVER use.
I agree, every engine is built different. Not all of them are going to move and flow oil in the exact same way. That is something I never thought about myself, but i've never owned that many different type of vehicles. I've always been a subaru man
