Some 5w-40 can be quite thick in cold. The 0w-30 here is German Syntec, and trust me it's the same visc curve as 0w-40. As you see, 5w-40 is 3-4x thicker in cold than jug 5w-30

Pros: better specs in many cases

Cons: can be quite thick

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20, and follow a 5K miles/6 months time change schedule. (It’s twice as often as is recommended but that’s just my personal preference on how often I change it, not indicative of oil quality or use parameters.)

Pros: 5K miles change schedule

Mileage: 8046 km
