[Shotimes] RE: [Shotimes] Driving in -10oF with 10w-30 oil

Ron,

This is just not true, although for some reason you keep clinging to it.
The 0w and 5w are COLD flow numbers.  They were not developed for fuel
economy.  They were developed to improve cold weather start up
lubrication.  They are both still 30w oil when warm, so they have the
same fuel economy as the 10w-30w.

Honestly, with your take on oil viscosity, I'm surprised you're not
still running a straight 30w like they did in the 50s.  :)

Dave

Remember that the thin oil (0w, 5w) was developed primarily for better
fuel economy.
