Honda's i-VTEC engine technology = 5W20 Oil

CanadianDriver: Auto Tech - Honda's i-VTEC engine technology:
"Varying the camshaft in relation to the crankshaft is done with engine oil pressure acting on an actuator located on the end of the intake camshaft. The computer varies the oil pressure to change the rotation of the camshaft on its drive sprocket."

Oil pressure can be controlled/predicted at one location in the oil flow path. The oil pressure at all other locations is a function of viscocity i.e. stable 5W20 behavoir.
