Re: *How* cold in Canada? [OIL]



Now this part always confused me, I'm running 10W-30 Mobil1 in PA, I
understand that Mobil1 will flow a hell of a lot better in the cold (and
heat for that matter) than regular dyno oil. So even though the oil is rated
at 10W-30 it should still flow better than dyno oil of the same rating.
Seeing as though it really doesn't get that cold in PA (I'm talking Canada
cold) shouldn't Mobil 1 10W-30 be fine for the winter?
