The only differentiation I make between the two is the 15w40 is good for ambient air temps up to about 90F and the 20w50 should be used above 90F.

I wouldn't use the 20w50 for cold starts...

I'm sorry, but this is just not true. You're statement that all of them are going to fail is just ludicrous. I can't even begin to imagine how many thousands of JE pistons we've sold and I can only...

That would also airate the oil, further taxing the AOS and causing other issues, if you drilled the IMS.
