I have a toyota that is specced for 0w16, but can use 0w20. I am most concerned about extreme cold performance -20 to -30F. M1 0w20EP still has 20-30% PAO, which does very well in extreme cold for starts. M1 0w16 AFE has no PAO. If I recall correctly, the MRV and CCS numbers are better for the 0w16 (but I can't find them now). Which is better for extreme cold starts?
