I feel sarcasm in that. However, there are much more things in modern engine oil, that just viscosity, but oil base and additives. As of today, only Amsoil much closer in additives package to OEM Toyota. And it has only 200 parts of Molybdenum, where Toyota has 700. it is possible to achieve high "slickness" of oil by other scientific methods without making product of very high price. And Exxon Mobil 1 does just that, with Molybdenum (very expensive) only 90. Rest of the guys just mix oil, stealing recipe from major manufacturers and ordering additives from same supplier. Anyone would do it, having spend millions on start up company and with right bribing connections. For General Population marketing is only oil "weight".
