i think that if what he claims, that the oil penetrates inside the metal, it might change the properties and it could be for worst, something might collapse cus it cant take the pressures any more, also it will change the lubrication method of the fluids from mixed to mainly boundary with penetration/absorbtion..
thats what i think haha

Tried a few from Mobil 1, castrol, shell helix ....
I like the synth oils, as long as you drive alot.
stick to major brands, you engine is the most $$$ in the car.
unknown/cheaper oil can do alot of damage.
esp in our DOHC 16v engines need lo vis on start up & around 30 or less in operating temp.
Oil is never meant to penetrate metal, just lube, protect and help disapate heat ......... this will eventualy screw you rings or bores ?!
