I understand that lubricity has to do with the ability of the oil to maintain a lubricating film under pressure.
Viscosity has to do with how readily the oil flows. They are not related. An early detailed study of the properties of lubricants was done by Ricardo Engineering for the British Air Ministry in the 1920's. I'm sure there has been a lot done since.
