Was just curious of the importance of VI vs MRV values.
Oil as an example. M1 0w40. VI = 185 which is all thumbs up vs. a MRV of 31,000 which is not
I was under the impression that an oil with a High VI meant for a good "All Climate" oil, but with a MRV of 31,000 how can that be?
Can anyway clarify the importance of each?
Granted I live in Southern California and where I live the coldest it gets is around 25F in the winter, but still, just out of curiosity.
Thanks
Jeff
