That is an excellent way to explain the weight of motor oil, Sumpalump. For the winter designation (W), the test is done around 0 degrees; for the regular the test is done around 200 to 300 degrees (a SAE handbook describes all this). By the way, Stumpalump, I thought that the Mobil 1 15W-50 would be ideal for my Toro lawn mower with the Briggs cast iron 16 HP single cylinder engine. I tried it and it used a lot of oil whereas with straight 30, it uses very little. It doesn't make sense to me.
