Winter is coming and this popped up in my youtube recommendations
never have an issue using the straight 10W-40 in it for the winter just lifter tick.
Just waiting on mine!I installed a heater from Frostheater on my TDI VW last year.
It's one of those heaters that are installed in a coolant line that use a thermosyphon effect to allow the warmed coolant to circulate through the engine.
It works surprisingly well. The coolant temperature is up near operating temp when starting the engine even on extremely cold days.
That has not changed much, we still had vehicle corrals at the man camps where they kept them idling all night.Many people visiting Russia in the 80s remember busses and ambulances left running all night, all winter.

Oil was M10D (M8 for cars - straight 20W)- a heavy straight 30 which could go to a light 40 and still available today, not sure if they updated any of the additives.

One Thanksgiving Cook out we had, we had to keep the beer stacked around the grill so it wouldn't flash freeze.
Its hard to appreciate that type of cold until you experienced it
