For the reason I just posted, a standard oil does get thinner with 
rising temp, running it through a paint viscosity cup will prove that. 
The multivis oil 10-40 is 10 w at start when COLD out, but as temp 
rises, has special molecules that coil to thicken it to temps required 
for maintaining the needed oil film on rubbing parts.  You'd need an 
experiment to see that when your oil is at 200+, run it through the 
viscosity cup for both multivis and regular oil, worth doing in summer- 
depends on where you live.
