The 100°C of the viscosity analysis is 212°F, so at 176°F (80°C) the Green Oil will already be thinner, provide less friction and run (cool?) faster through the block than other oils which are about the same at 100°C.
It would not be a huge difference, but some difference nonetheless.

When the engine produces less heat under the same conditions it is probably running more efficiently. It is a hopeful sign.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
