Haha.
The only facts in this scenario are Visc at 40C and at 100C. Everything else on that graph is extrapolation that may or may not be accurate. That's all I'm saying.
As for the OP's original question, my gut feeling would be that he won't see a whole lot of difference between 5w-30 and 0w-30, but of course it depends on the specific products, as was already noted by you.
Got it! So..Sacrificing quality/brand due to availability of 0w30's matters more than the difference between the two around here IMO. The climate has changed fast few years. This was the 2nd warmest winter on record, with an avg temp of 40F. Single digits a couple of times, only snowed twice.
Good discussion.
