Castrol's pour #s are horrible

[guile]

Just got the Castrol spec sheets, pour numbers are pathetic. Syntec and Syntec blend 5w-30 is -27F!?! What's the story behind this?

They could be, but pour point numbers have always seemed subjective to me. Do they give any viscosity values?

Could you post all the numbers? No wonder they do not have the info on there web site.

You're correct, the Syntec is -39C...it's the GTX and Blend that are -33C.

Don't know where you get your numbers from, but the data sheet I have dated 6/02 says that Syntec 5-30 has a pour point of -39C.
