Here we go again. Aren’t y’all tired of this yet?"The bearings are instead cooled mostly by, first, heat conduction in the metal away from the surface, and then oil flow around the bearing. Which is not so sensitive to the viscosity of oil."
I'd expect much of the heat transfer from the turbo would be via the coolant loop through the unit. The coolant temp is likely lower than the oil temp and the coolant flow rate may be higher as well.
Don't know why one would use oil which isn't 0w-20. Are you more knowledgeable than the Honda folks about what's good for this engine?
