The special synthetic ingredients in Winter Start prevent this, allowing the oil to flow much easier, even when the temperature drops to 30 below zero. As the engine warms up to regular operating temperatures, special additives allow the oil to maintain normal viscosity, both lubricating the engine and working to reduce friction and wear.
