We all know they changed. But history often reveals intent, much like an incriminating email....

And in hot climates, why would one care if its a 5w or a 10w.... is a 5w in -20 deg flowing better than a 10w in +45 deg?

If not, its arbitrary, or at least incomplete. Oh, and the viscosity curves prove its not.
