I've been contemplating using a multigrade such as 10/30 in normal use.
With thermo-syphon and no thermostat I doubt the engine would ever get up to working temperature at 30 below.
Split braking is fun on ice:
Apply handbrake, front wheels lock.
Steering to full lock, car continues straight ahead.
Simultaneously release handbrake and apply footbrake.
Car stops moving forward and spins round and round.
Hours of fun in the ice covered Law Department car park at Dundee University in the 60s.
