This Russian guy from Murmansk, in Russia, did an experiment with Liqui Moly SAE 50 oil in winter, in Russia!

Man those guys have to be tough as nails living in that climate!
Well, Murmansk is relatively mild compared to other parts of Russia, Montana, The Dakotas, are colder than Murmansk in the winter.
This was a diesel engine, so unless you’ve seen similar diesel engines being started at these cold temps, it’s not the same. Diesel and gas engine crank a lot different when cold.
The cranking speed and the difficultly of the engine wanting to keep running was similar with 20W-50 at -20F.
LOL those Russians are crazy fellows.
It's the kind of thing you do when society is so backwards that you are unable to take advantage of decades of improvements.
That oil was THICKKK. Hahaha, not really the right choice there. M1, 15W-50 is not that viscous at -10F, At least in the past it wasn't. Have not tried it in a while.
Blyat!
He ain't no Steven Spielberg, that focus was all over the place.
