    But those aren't synoils either. Which is a whole different ballgame
really. 15w50 synoil cranks over at -10 better than 5w-30 dino-oil ever could.
Can't imagine why somebody from Texas would even bother to argue with people in
the artic about what oil to use in Winter. Spend a few Winters in Canada or
north MN with no garage or anywhere to plug a block heater in and see what
works, eh?
