Gee, why would you do that?

It's now the 21st century and this discussion is about synthetic oil.

Here's some data:

I checked the "cold pour point" specification for various grades of Mobil 1 on their website.

They were ALL THE SAME, same for 15W-50 being about 15 degrees higher. That made it minus 40.

No, just run year around the ONE version of Mobil 1 that meets Mercedes specifications and is NOT designed for diesels: 0W-40 European Formula.
