Yes, M1 ESP 5w30 is an entirely different oil, with HTHS ⥠3.5 cP. The same goes for API CK-4 5w30 HDEOs. Their base oils are nice and thick along with their strong HTHS.

Can you explain your thinking here?
Oh No ! ...You have opened Pandora's box
It's not my thinking -- it's a fact. Ask any oil blender.

Excellent suggestion, especially for his climate, with a turbocharged engine.
That's one of the best oils out there, regardless of price.
Derived from natural gas, and Noack volatility ~ 4.7%.
