Multigrade oils do not "thicken up" when they get hot, hotter, or really
hot.

I agree Rob it was a bad turn of phrase & I apologise.... again:-)

The main thing is that in multi grade oils the actual oil (before
additives etc) is the lower of the grades, so it will (deliberately)
stay thinner at lower temps.

As for the rest..... hmmm the way the price of oil is going it won't
matter much soon.

Thanks for the whack behind the ear; I deserved it:-)

I just got overly excited about an on topic post:-)

I feel your pain. :)

Take care.
