In 2009 at Hershey I asked the Ford guys why the 5-20 as opposed to the 10 - 30 I had used in general for many years. They smiled, said they loved all the stories they heard, but for the V10 it was mainly needed for engine tolerances which were tighter than in the past.
While the tolerances are tighter, the MINIMUM clearances are not.
With improved machining that provide tighter tolerances, the maximum bearing clearance will be smaller, not the minimum clearance.
The reasons they smiled was that they weren't going to tell you it was about CAFE mpg.
