Nobody has said it makes a real difference. What it does do is potentially indicate base oil quality.
Then they must be using some great base oil (it's only fractional PAO) in Castrol Edge OE Professional LL IV 0w-20 (VW 508/509) with a pour point of -86F. Polar bears use this in their Toy "Tundras"....
It has a crank viscosity, CCS -35C (0W) DIN 51377 mPas, (cP) of 3900 which is great, but there are actually a very few other oils with higher pour points and lower CCS @-35C.
Practically, CCS & MRV win.
Get the wax out, oil pours under its own weight when super cold, is the bottom line. Cold facts. (Don't forget to tip the waitresses.)
