Yes, think of the decades long IMS debacle - and this doesn't even use motor oil to lube it.
They don't care. They just want to sell more crap to the old guys who are just getting into the hobby - the guys who moved up from a Boxster or Cayman and are now getting into the old cars.
Oil preference is common sense. 10w60 is a stretch and has been fashionable since several Italian motorcycle manufacturers and Ferrari started using it in the early 2000s. I never, ever run it in my Italian bikes. Ever. 20/50, or if I cannot get that, 15w40. My cars and bikes seem to last forever (engine wise).
