Not to throw fuel on the fire

100's of thousands of people run 0w-40 in their Porsche as recomended
I'm not an engineer, but it would seem that having an oil that acts thinner would be better for startup.

BTW, that there is over 6 years old and as many have stated, the oil companies reformulate their product from time to time, so it is highly likely that the products have changed since 2009

At the end of the day, drink whatever flavor Kool-Aid you like
