on the surface, makes sense, but also depends upon the type of driving. If the villages car drives 10 minutes per trip, 0w16 would get to final viscosity quicker, and would lubricate short drives better than a final heavier weight oil which wouldn't get to all the lubrication places as quickly after 10 minutes

all scenarios are not the same
