This  is one of the best articles discussing oil temperatures, viscosity and weight. 
Cliff Notes: We need flow not thick viscosity.
                Oil temp range determines pressure and viscosity.
                Cold start up is toughest on wear.
                Our filters by-pass on cold start up more with high viscosity.
