Doesn't running 0W-30 synthetic oil go a long way towards resolving the "not so hot oil" problems? Anthony has a great post some time ago regarding oil weights.

Are there any technical types out there that can "weigh" in here about this topic; specifically, a 0W-XX oil will substantially address many of the concerns people have about lubrication at lower than optimal temperatures. New question: do synthetic oils hold water like mineral oils, i.e. if synthetic oils don't get up to 185+F, do they gunk up like mineral oils?
