Hi. Question: Why do people choose a 1ow4o when a ow4o or 5w4o is available?
Doesn't the first number coincide with cold pour temp, at zero degrees, and therefore is thinner, therefore flows better and gets in all the nooks and cranies to take away gunk and nasties better than a thicker 1ow oil?
I'm particularly refering to the M1 ow4o or GC ow3o vs. my beloved M1 5w4o (tdt). I understand its a diesel oil and all but let's take the ultra-cleaning properties out of the equation please.
Educate me.
