Not good if you do short commute as 300V needs high temperatures for additives to work at full potential: track.
What I noticed for PPE 5w40 is it behaves pretty similarly to BMW tpt 0W30, gets to operating temperature at the same rate and stabilizes at about 94C which is the same as 0W30. This is likely due to PPE being a low viscosity 40 weight.
Low viscosity 40 and I am suspecting that GTL base stocks have good heat dissipation.
