Something to remember is that 0w16 is s completely different add pack and even base chemistry from a 0w20.
This means it may still provide as much wear protection as 0w20 or it may not since it’s not tested for every application. It also isn’t actually 16w oil so you can’t compare its weight apples to apples with 0w20 you would need to see the data sheet. Where the real magic happens is when we move away from SN+ to the completely incompatible next gen oils (which are all base 8 oils)
It’s also less mixable with the base 10 oils so no more random oil top offs if you follow an extended fill duration
