I though about mixing 2L of 0w30 to 3L of 5w30 for a "winter" blend.
or should I try something else?

Why mix those two? Why not just go with 100% of one or the other?
0w30 is to thin.
also I am bored. i just want to try it out

I believe neonracer98's afflication is why the Creator originally invented Cannabis Sativa.
Hmm perhaps you have never driven my car. It burns a little oil.. but you seem to have already known that.quote:

Castrol 0w30 is almost a 40 weight oil.
Castrol Syntec 0w30 (the German version) is thicker by a fair amount than their 10w30 syntec. EXCEPT when it's about -10 degrees F.

Yep, he's right, as Castrol Syntec 0w30 is 12.2 cst at 100c, while the 5w30 is only 9.7 cst at 100c. So if you mix any of the 5w30 with the 0w30, you'll be thinning out the mixture compared to just running 100% Castrol 0w30.
Ok guys.. Sorry for my ignorance. I searched around the site.
I went out and bought some 0w30 tonight. It's made in germany so it must be good
