This is not being terse or rude. IMHO if you have 500+ posts here and it has not been absorbed by reading, I think a visual representation via a table may just help.
I f don't know the answer either why did you post such a snotty remark?. I guess it doesn't require nothing more then $20 to be a "Amsoil expert". Thanks for nothing.,,
Not "snotty" at all. Why do you assume I "don't know the answer either"?
I gave some advice and I explained exactly why I did so. If you want to get all sensitive and personal, then that is a choice you decide to make.
OK here's the first hit when I Google:
http://widman.biz/English/Tables/J300.html
It's an old version from Widman's page (I wish he would post the 2008 version), but anyway - just take a look at the table rather than be the typical attack the Amsoil guy stooge. See the left columns? It very precisely shows the measured maximum viscosities for "0W", "5W", "10W", etc. If the oil is lower than that viscosity at the the given temperature then the oil can be labeled with "0W", "5W", "10W", etc.
Not so tough, huh?
