Hi,
I would rank the oils as follows:
1) Mobil 1 10W-30
2) Mobil 1 5W-30
3) Mobil 1 0W-30
As stated by Stephen and alluded to by Greg, PAO has high intrinsic
viscosity index with can _easily_ cover a 20 point spread without any
nasty VII molecules.
Also, even though virgin viscosity increases from 10W to 5W to 0W,
HT/HS viscosity decreases from 10W to 5W to 0W, further alluding to
presence of VII molecules.
Fully synthetic 10W can be used with confidence in lower 48 states
and Hawaii. If you live in Alaska, _maybe_ you need the Fully synthetic
0W :-)
thanks
Jae
