Well, then if 0W30 is thinner, then it would offer better protection @ startup just for that reason, because it can circulate through the engine quicker, at least this is my understanding of it, which came from quite a good source. I'm open to an explanation of exactly why it would be worse at startup, and thus would happily go back to 5W30. Anyone want to explain this one to me?
