easy starting with synthetic rotella

Was real cold down here in mass last week.Friday I pulled the dipstick and saw 15-40 rotella was like glue at 5 deg above and with truck pluged in for a few hours.Decided to do early oil change and put some rotella synthetic 5-40 in and wow what a difference truck turns over like a 6 volt starter on a 12 volt batt.Also the oil pressure is up to 45 psi much quicker now.Wish i did this long ago.
