0W40 does work better. It is not readily availible here however. I have a 120v oilpan heater installed that warms oil before I start so it is less of a problem.

Auto tranny guys also benefit from a tranny pan heater.

They are easy to find. Make sure that it is really cold outside. Starting at the door handle, use your tounge and lick in a clockwise circle with each lap arround the handle being progressivly larger.

Your tounge will automaticaly stop on the lick.
