If oil thins when cold and thickens when heated, why do they need block
heater and 0w rated oils in artic climate countries, to stop the oil
turning to the consistency of fudge, and blowing apart the filter when
first started.
Also, when changing oil, if it thickens when hot, why do you warm the
oil up before draining to make sure the maximum oil *flows* out when it
is more liquid. Surely wou would want the oil stone cold and all of it
back at the sump, if it is thinnest when cold?
