Cold starting oil
What is the best oil to put in the car for cold starting in the winter?
I have a magneticoil warmer that sticks on the oil pan but it has to be removed whenever the car is driven and it's just too much of a PITA to do every morning in the winter. [:@]
Any otheralternitave will be helpful. Thanks.

RE: Cold starting oil
You notice how there is oil that is 5W whatever and 10W whatever? Take 10W 40 for example. The 10W stands for -10 degrees Winter. So as long as it's above -10 degrees your good. The 40 is the weight. The higher the number the thicker the oil. If I lived somewhere that was that cold it wouldn't matter what oil was in my car though. I'd stay in the dam house!
