From my basic test it seems to be the case. The Lucas 50wt synthetic MC oil flows faster out of the freezer than the Valvoline labeled as...

    SAE viscosity vs actual

    Looking at the data sheets of oils I noticed that one 5w30 might actually be closer to a 10w30 or, a 50w actually having a lower viscosity at 40c than another 20w50. Is the viscosity curve not a straight line hot to cold?

    Brand loyalty is a weird thing

    It's a personal, emotional thing. For the last few years I had been a Brand loyal with Valvoline, until they stopped selling a DEXOS2 approved oil. Was a Amsoil user and dealer, used only redline oil at one point. Now I'm not sure. Running Liqui moly right now.
