Typical properties is kind of like a disclaimer, meaning the properties of the oil can vary slightly but those are the "typical" physical measurements of the finished product. Is that what you were asking?

On a typical day, the oil is sampled and the typical sample is produced for a batch....which is typically the same as the sample/

CCS and MRV are cold weather specs. The CCS test will give a good idea of how the oil will behave when you're cranking a cold engine. The MRV number tells how easily the oil will pump around the engine immediately after start up. Those particular numbers are interesting for the 5W-20 and 5w30 oils. The 5W-20 oil provides easier cranking and starting (no big surprise), but the 5w30 oil will be easier to pump around the engine after that same cold start.
