The main reason manufacturers use a low viscousity synth oil in many new cars is for the increase in mileage to help get them by the government's corporate average fuel mileage requirements. Yes, either low viscousity and/or synthetic oil increase mechanical effeciancy. Some engine builders use something like a 0W-10 weight synthetic when dyno testing for better HP/TQ advertising numbers.
