Both of my Ford Duratecs call for 5w20 and our Mazda Skyactiv 2.5 calls for 0w20.
I have used 5w20 synthetic in the Mazda in warmer weather and would like to use it this winter because it's older (SN) than
the 0w20 I have on hand (SP). I'm talking about 5w20s such as QSUD, PP, Castrol Edge etc...
My question is at what temperature Fahrenheit does 0w20 make a difference over 5w20 full synthetic as far a flow to a cold OHC engine?
We see a handful of single digit F* temps a year max. with 0*F being a very rare exception.
