I`m still on Windows 98 and I can`t open too many websites anymore. can someone tell me the pour point for PP 5w30 is? I know 10w30 pour point is -34f. Help would be VERY appreciated.

And I will be getting a new computer soon with window 7, I`m thinking a Toshiba laptop.

And this is related to PP 5w-30's pour point how?

Good catch all Johnny, if he had not stated what the reason he needed the information every tom ****, and harry would chime in telling him to look it up, etc etc, and he explains the reason he asked due to inadequate computer technology then well... good job Johnny Mobil 1
 
Windows 98!??!! Time for an upgrade

-39 celcius. Used to be -45 from what I remember.

I am a very big fan of Pennzoil products but....if I was doing 5K OCI's or less I would use PYB (over PP) and save some $$$$$$. The only reason to use PP in most applications is to extend OCI's to 7 or 8K IMO. In other words PYB is EXCELLENT in its own right.
 
I just put it in the Equinox tonight. We will see how it does. I had been running M1 since 3000 miles. Everyone says good things about on here so I am going to try it.

Or Canadian winters that get to -40F and I`ve seen lower, -55F in 1984 I think it was.Propane could be carried in open pales like a fluid.
 
Some labs can only test down to -39C so that's probably what is happening here. I once send a sample of GC 0w30 to Wearcheck Canada for their pour point test and it came back saying -39C and when I talked to them about it they said that's the lowest their machines will test it to (which seems pretty useless to me, especially given that GC has a wickedly low pour point of something like -76 degrees!)
 
I got on the -39C on the Pennzoil web site PDS sheets. That is why I thought it was strange that the 5w30 PP and PYB had the same pour point.
