Denny, the heavier oil like the SAE 50 you're using does give higher pressure because of it's greater resistance to flow. And a bit more "cushioning" effect.

But like so many things, there is a trade-off and in this case it's lower flow volumes and hence poorer heat transfer from bearings, etc. Which way is the better compromise I have no idea.
