I cannot find data sheets, but I wonder if this oil actually has superior cold cranking performance.

They should be posting the spec sheet soon, but I will try to answer your questions. For what this oil was designed to do, it will flow better than 5W30 Pennzoil in very cold temps. It will flow better than most oils at very cold temps, including Mobil 1. Here is basically what it is.
It is a synthetic blend (Group II+ & Group III)that is loaded with poor point additives. Here are the cold temp properties.
Pour Point in Centigrade
QS Conventional -36
QS Winter -45
Mobil 1 -45
Pumpability @ -35c, in centiPoise (cP)
QS Conventional 36,100
QS Winter 7,800
Mobil 1 10,700
Bottom line, it pumps better than Mobil 1 in extreme cold.
I'll be on a "GC" type of hunt for this stuff!quote:
Hopefully the QS Winter will be on the shelves soon in your area. I don't know if Wal-Mart is bringing it in or not. I sold 20 truckloads this morning to two large customers that distribute in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. It will be on the shelves up here in about two weeks.
Are my chest hairs supposed to get all excited about this???? Just wonderingquote:

Anytime you add an additve it will displace something else.quote:
