To me it sounds like the thicker oil doesn't leak out of the actuators as fast as the correct oil.

Kinda depends on if you want you want it to run smooth until you hose the whole engine with too heavy of oil in it or if you want to get dirty and fix the problem.

Unless you do it all day every day time is going to vary wildly depending on your skill, tool collection and dumb luck.

I agree with your summation. I'll have to investigate further.
If I got a shop time estimate I could correlate from there.
thanks,

Richard
