yeah frankly, that looks like an advertisement more than an actual scientific test..
but anyways..
IF that would be a matter of being full synthetic, then explain why the quaker state full synth doesn't reach about'ish the same values as the leftmost two..
Also poring is (can be) an indication but it's nothing relevant really..
since if it were the latter two would have gotten a 0W rating easily, and could sell their oil for a buck per quart more just as easily...
(frankly it's almost as telling as "fresh" color)
So yeah nooo, really.. of course all of that is a matter of min/max values in regards to the previous rating.
But that's basically all the span there is, and while full synth oils have some benefits sometimes, they have some serious drawbacks as well (again at times)
What you're likely missing is the simple fact that it's the additives that make the rating.
and yes, added to synthetic oil has a different influence than to mineral oil, than to vegetable oil.
BUT it's a matter of altering the additive not the oil really.
as with mineral oil most companies get their "pure oil" (to not call it raw
)
from one maybe two sources.
Anyways, yes improvements on additives makes things easier (widen the range but doesn't alter the ones we have.
And yes, I think I suspect it's easier to make an additive for a synthetic oil where you can as well slightly alter it's molecules to bind with the additive easier.
But no matter what the equations WILL ALWAYS stay the same
(the beaty in science is, there might be different ways, but viable routes will always remain valid!)
So yeah, still: the equation will NOT change, the rating we have is highly unlikely to change,
expanded.. perhaps some day (just recently SAE 16 was added.. before 20 was lowest)

the numbers are from a document newer than 2013
