oil MIGHT be worth 5 HP at most...and that's probably down to viscosity...

worn oil might make more HP, because it's thinner...less pumping losses...

an additional 20HP of frictional losses would be massive...
especially a good synthetic with 6k miles vs. new oil, not to mention a 10 qt sump!

over time, dirty oil will cost power due to engine wear, loss of compression, etc.
