If you really believed that you would have a PreOiler on your car... just like many trucks do....
Do you have a preoiler ?

I really believe it and I don't. Have you looked at the differerence in viscosity between an sae40 and a 5w-40 at 40C?

Rotella 15w-40 is 120 cst at 40C
Rotella SAE 30 and 40 are 107 and 120 respectively.
Rotella 5w-40 is 87.

So if were talking a hot day, which one will pump faster/easier?

When it gets cold what do you think will happen?
