Johnny,
Some years ago, i worked in a lab where I compared dino and synthetic oils of different viscosity/brand. The temperature was controlled at -20 °C : oils, viscosimeters, people... We observed that 5W30 from CIE A has not the same viscosity of 5W30 from CIE B. We observed that a dino 5W30 was less viscous than a brand of synthetic 5W30; another synthetic 5W30(the most expensive) was almost as viscous as a dino 10W30! The least viscous was a synthetic 0W30. I recommend a 0W40 from JD or equivalent; please note that this oil was not incorporated in the above comparison study. Some CIE claims that high quality 0W40 is as good as 15W40 in limiting wear of engine.
