Re: [OM] [OT] 20W oil, was spare wheels, deer and BMWs, etc.

If you can start the car, the engine at least doesn't stay low temperature for 
long. 
And no-one seems to worry much about the other oil filled components.
So if you live in cold places, start slowly until the temp is up. Simple really.
I suspect that the quality of the oil is more important. The rat is probably 
marketing strategy.

Arizona has some bloody cold winter places as I recall from things like 
documentaries.
