Phthalates
use them only where seal sweal is needed (couple percent only) work great. 1 time put a piece of old hose that would break if bent to much in a beaker and the next monday it was so soft, swollen and squishy that you could bend it any way and pull like taffy.

I like to change oil often so I use conventional motor oil most of the year. But where I live in Colorado it can get cold in the wintertime. I like to use Mobil 1 5w30 or 0w30 in the wintertime. Bottom line is that a synthetic oil if it is the correct viscosity will simply flow better in the wintertime. You will have less engine wear and you will be able to start your vehicle more easily. The coldest temperature I have personally experienced was 28 below (without consideration of the wind chill factor).

Hi Bruce,
My goodness that German Castrol sure has a following! I just bought a quart of it (Gold) and ran a G.C. and FTIR on it. It is PAO based with no esters, Group III, or ANs. I just posted the analysis on the GC forum under the title "G.C. on GC - Base oil analysis".

Tom,
I've read on here (sompe place) that it had a pour point of
-71 F. I don't know if that was refering to the GC "green" or the "gold" latter formula, and I can't back that up as being gospel. Since this thread is titled "POUR POINTS" I just thought I'd mention that.
Just rather odd that it is not sold at BP gas stations. Would look reasonable since it is a BP product.
