Liqui-moly motor oil saver is actually made for just such an application.
True, but the Bio Tech stuff does this without increasing the viscosity of my winter OCI one iota.
Come on. Unless the engine has a 2 quart sump I doubt viscosity is affected in any meaningful way.
Though I can't disagree with your logic,I don't agree that in a typical 5 quart sump that viscosity is affected in any real tangible way.
Yes, but as you've stated, you agree to a point, and it actually makes even MORE difference where YOU are located for a winter OCI.
I just do not like to thicken the oil even infinitesimally in the winter, for start-up flow reasons.
In fact, IF I ever have to 'top up' oil in the winter, I ONLY use the light, high VI 0W-20s.
I DO plan on adding a can of the Motor Oil Saver this coming summer though.
