The descriptions on the oil is correct. 15 weight when below a certain temp and acts as a 40 weight above a certain temp(can't remember the temps off hand). The impurities in conventional oils are one of the main things that cause them to thicken in the cold. Synthetics (quality synthetics anyway) do not have these impurities and flow much better when cold. My car cranks just about like it does in the summer with synthetics.
