Yes, you are interpreting that the same way I would. I am particularly interested in 0W-30 oils, since you could in theory run those even in cold weather without issue.

I’m seriously contemplating 0W-30 as I’m rolling at 100 MPH pretty often here in Germany because of the unrestricted autobahn areas. Sometimes I’m even doing 120 so I think during the summer 0W-20 definitely won’t be good.
