How is the winter rating a "thick oil"? That's the second time I've seen you make that statement.
Which is thicker, a 10W-30 or a 0W-40?
It really depends what your (local) market is selling....
Here in EU...majority of grades comes in 5w40...5w30........10w40 viscosities...
Aprox 10years ago EU started to fancy 5w30...that became our "CAFE" grade....all Diesel DPF PCMOs here are in Sae30 viscosity.....
But be advised that 0Wxy grades are not that popular over here...
And also that our 5w30 ACEA oils are thicker than yours in API/ILSAC...
So in reality you have plenty of 5w30/5w40 /10w40 options on market.....followed by some 15w40...
0Wxy is a rarity here....sae20 also!
10w30&15w30 also a rarity....for agricultural use only (STOU/UTTO oils mostly)
Do you understand now?
