The oil I use has a very high sheer rate with a HTHs of around 5.3 cp
typical 5/40 oil can be around 3.5 cp with low friction economy oils having around 2.9 cp

Re: What's in for the Police?
Program on tv once where young lads would meet to show off their slightly modded cars ,
The police where crawing all over them to see what they could issue tickets for , these where hard working young lads not thieving bag head scum .I thought what a shame easy targets whilst the scrum roam free
