[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 1 from Hagar.(lube)

You're absolutely correct.  A 15w-40 oil is a "15 weight" at start up and a
"40 weight" at full operating temps.

I wish someone with a good understanding of the  15W40 oil that I use year
round,would step forward and explain.I had people tell me that  "W" oils get
thicker when they get hot , absolute balderdash ,codwaddle I say.
I am an old geezer who used oils before the W showed up.It is my
understanding that  the 15W40 I use means that it cranks like a straight 15
at the low temp,and lubricates as a straight 40 at the higher temp.Book say
ESSO 15 W 40 is good to minus 20 centigrade. So sir help us out we need to
know ,thank you.     Hagar.
