Ken,

I entirely agree with you. If I was to purchase synthetic lubricant for a
car that would be subjected to 30 below zero, I would buy the lower
viscosity for sure.
Anyway.........................
Remember the car we are discussing will never be started when it is 30 below
zero outside. It is leading a pampered life now compared to when I initially
purchased it in 1972. So if I'm not going to start the car when it is colder
out than let's say 32 degrees,  I think it will be ok with the 20W50, would
anyone agree??   I've used the block heater to prewarm the engine with 40W
in it and the lifters didn't even tick because I would engage the starter
and let it crank first for a bit and then set the choke and it would fire
instantly and not clatter.

thanks,

Armand
