There is way to rationalise lubricants other than OEM recommendation, in oil industry we call it as 'lubrication survey'. It is general practice for industry to use OEM recommended oils during warranty period if the equipment/engine is very expensive. For example powerr plant diesel engines, Turbines etc.
After the warranty period, industry users can choose their oils in cosultation with oil suppliers/technical representative.
