BTW, 5,650cP is heavier than 5,553cP (the 0W-30), so I'm not sure what the point of that screenshot was
Try again, the post right above this one of yours proves the CCS of HPL 0w30 is lower than the Castrol 0w20. However, you clearly don’t understand the distinction between cold cranking simulator and pumpability. As was noted earlier, if an oil is pumping, it is protecting, even if it’s thick.Go look at the -35 css for both oils......
It should become clear
Yeah, it's clear that the the two 0W oils (one a 0W-20 and one a 0W-30) @OVERKILL posted a few posts above makes it clear that both 0W are essentially the same CCS viscosity at -35C.Go look at the -35 css for both oils......

I'm thinking there isn't quite a fully understanding that the "W" (0W, 5W, 10W, etc) grade is a whole different and separate viscosity measurement than the "20" or "30" KV100 viscosity. There are probably even 0W-40 oils out there that have very similar "W" grade CCS viscosity as the 0W-20 and 0W-30 oils.However, you clearly don’t understand the distinction between cold cranking simulator and pumpability.

Yea but what happens when those coatings wear off? And they do.Well, new engines specifying 8, 12, 16 grades are specifically designed to be able to withstand those viscosities. Sputter coated bearings, wider journals, piston skirt coatings, DLC cams, etc. I would say it is science being used to solve a problem that you may not agree is a worthy goal. We've already come to some point of compromise, it's just shifting. If not we'd all have been running 5W-50 or 10W-60 for the past 2 decades.
It might be right there - - - but it IS LOWER when comparing name brand synthetics - - - -not some expensive boutique oil that only .0000001% of the driving public uses.View attachment 189478
^^^ What does that prove? The CCS viscosity is pretty much right in there with the other 0Ws posted.
Pumpability is a binary and is illustrated by the winter rating. If it pumps, it will pump. A thicker oil will take an incrementally higher amount of energy to pump but even then it is transitory since the oil heats up rather quickly. And the thicker the oil is the faster it will heat.Anyway - - - - Im done providing evidence in this thread and betting bashed for it.
If you think a thicker oil will pump better in the same temp as a thinner oil - - cool.

Take castrol for example

The 20 weight is lower at -35 vs the 30 - - - - - not by much but it is lower - - where it diverges is the -40 temp.

Here are your Castrol examples, specs shown below from the spec sheets. Actually, the 0W-30 has a hair lower CCS viscosity at -35C. They are both almost identical 0W rated CCS viscosity. Both will pump essentially the same because one is 5897 cP (the 0W-20) and the other is 5800 cP (the 0W-30) at -35C. There is no evidence seen here that one is better than the other, or even better than any other 0W spec sheet posted previously. In fact, the two Castrol Edge oils you linked both have thicker CCS @ -35C than all the other previous 0W grade oil's posted previously in this thread.It might be right there - - - but it IS LOWER when comparing name brand synthetics - - - -not some expensive boutique oil that only .0000001% of the driving public uses.

They should be designed to last the life of the part. I mean, take the bearings for example. People have torn down BMW B58 with 100k miles and the IROX coating is still looking like day 1 on the rod bearings. I’m not as familiar with the various piston skirt and cam coatings etc but I would say any coating failure is a design flaw. Every part has a MTBF target, coated or not the OEM expects x miles out of a part. Would you use these coatings in a million mile design? Maybe not, but we’ve seen enough bad cam surfaces, bearings, etc. before the coatings became popular already. Everything is a wear item given enough time.Yea but what happens when those coatings wear off? And they do.
