[QUOTE="wglee, post: 135327, member: 610"] I read somewhere that the W rating is immaterial as it is only relevant to winter conditions. I also read that 0W-30 doesn't mean that the oil's weight is 0 on start up. It means 0 in winter conditions. So, in tropical countries like Malaysia, the 0W-30 oil is not likely to be at 0 weight on start up even in the coldest of mornings. I don't know how true this is, but I heard that BP oils are actually better than Castrol and that ever since BP bought over Castrol, Castrol oils are based on BP formulations. [/QUOTE]
