That was a little hard to follow... You decided on the Pentosin MTF-2 75w-80 because of it's kinematic viscosity and viscosity index are within spec of a 75w-85, but stays on the thinner end of the spectrum than the others you chose for comparison. Correct?

Its no surprise the cold shifting is better at low temps being so much thinner, but it's also thinner at high temps. This might be fine for a normal daily driver. I'm more concerned with how it handles extended high loads and heat buildup from something like track use.
