Hello correct me if I am wrong however this is the info that I learned over the years and not sure if I am correct or not
The first digit before the W is the winter rating
So 0w will flow better then 5w at super cold cold temperatures
However for this example lets use we are comparing a full synthetic 0w vs a full synthetic 5w
At a temperature of 50-60F, would they both flow the same? Or is 0w still better?
The reason I ask is because if someone lives in really warm temps all year round then what’s the purpose of even running a 0w? Unless I’m mistaken it would never really be put into a temperature that would show it’s benefit over soemtbing like a 5w
The reason I was thinking of sticking to a 5w etc rather then Just always doing 0w is technically isn’t it said that 5w will sheer less compared to a 0w since they have less VI improvers compared to a 0w?
Also it seems like the selection is more for a 5w30 compared to a 0w30
However if I am mistaken please correct me I would love to learn!!
