Yea, it gets cold here in the northeast. I have tried a few different oils in my 300d. Synthetics seem to give better cold weather starting then regular oil. My car wouldn't start below 18 degrees F. on regular oil. Without the bolck heater being plugged in. I tried Mobil-1 that got it starting at 12 degrees F. My company is a mobil distributor. So I know one thing, it's crap! Mobil one is ok but it won't last like they say it will. I tried a few others with similar results.
I have run Amsoil in all my 2-strokes for years. I scare the my fellow racers when I tell them I pre mix at 100-1. Turning 9000+ rpms, I have had my spark plugs so white, a 4-stroker would be concerned. Amsoil has never let me down.
So I thought that I would give Amsoil's synthetic 15/40 a try. So far it's great. I have gotten it started in the single digits with no block heater. My oil consumption is also down. For reliability reasons. I plug it in at 15 degrees, on a timer, overnight.
