Interesting video on oil flow when cold

Stumbled on this while researching Chevron 0w30.
Left to Right according to list on video comments:
1. Chevron Delo 400 0W30
2. Elf Evolution SXR 5W30
3. Shell Extra Ultra 5W30
4. Eneos 5W50
5. Mobil 1 New Life 0W40
6. Castrol TAF-X 75W90
7. Chevron Supreme 5W30.

Interesting find! Not very scientific but sometimes this is what people prefer to see. That Delo 400 is amazingly thin.

Delo 0w30 a.k.a. unobtanium

Agree looks like something really did have to freeze over for someone to obtain Delo 0w-30

Wonder what the temp. was? If it was 30 degrees F, we're all in trouble.

FZ1 knows all that. That's why he runs only 5-20 synthetic.

Since the profile of the "uploader" indicates Russia; I think it's safe to assume it was below 30 F...

FYI that TAF-X gear oil is the factory fill MTF on a lot of VW/Audi cars.
