BlazerLT,
apparently millions of satisfied ultra cold wx users of XD3 0w30 and 0w40 with commercial, industrial, heavy equipement and passenger vehicles in the NWT, Yukon, N Alberta and North Slope along with Esso's tribologists are wrong and YOU are right?
HELLO!!!! COMMERCIAL, heavy duty and industrial!
Make any sense to you? You have proof that they use the oil in passenger cars up there?
I don't think so, you are just basing your inferences from your warm cliamte in Washington Stat and reading your knowledge off of a white paper from the company. Of course the heavy duty engine can use it seeing they aren't using light duty parts to pump their oil around the engine.
You have no experience with the oil at all. All you are doing is spreading your factless opinion, calling other liars and then getting all whiney when you get it thrown back in your face with your own data.
You don't even use the oil yourself yet you claim to be an expert with it.
I use the 0w30 version and it is almost too thick for my 4.3L in really cold conditions. At -25c it max's out my oil pressure gauge which never occured even with the dino 5w30.
The use of the 0w40 version is out of the question, never would I subject my engine to that thick of an oil and my engine is more heavy duty than hollywoods applications. With the 0w30 I have some problems with oil flow even at -35c and the you can actually hear crank knock for two seconds when starting it.
So stop spreading you pointless and factless opinion and listen to the several people in this thread that have put you in your place where you belong.
You are just making up stories to back you and a is a sign of desperation.
