Thank you. But do we have data available to ensure that is the best flowing oil in that temperature range? I vaguely recall reading something which said in certain temperature ranges regular Mobil 5w30 flowed better than a 0w30, or am I just imagining things?

Do you mean the caterham blend? Then yes, but I dont want to play crazy chemist. Prefer to use something in a way the oil manufacturer intended.

Recently acquired an 04 prius, originally spec'd for 5W30. I do know that Toyota has given the green light for 20 weight oils., But I would like to stick with 30 weight oils. In the Western washington region where I live, morning temps range from 40-50F for most of the year. Therefore, my...

Even though any approved will be just fine, I will personally use a synthetic given the choice because of the probable high temps encountered on long high speed mountain grades. The synthetic's inherent better performance and shear stability under those conditions sway me in that direction.
