To my knowledge, the two best long-range oils (the most shear stable) are Schaeffer's 9000 & a Redline product. Most others (including AMSoil & other syns) shear in the first 3k, and then stabalize at a low 30wt.

I have no problems running DELO 400 to 7.5k, but I would go beyond that even with bypass due to the shearing.

please post any UOA on the information you provided.
I have 6.0s in service with no shearing problems and extended service...
