You need to remember that there is more than the oil affecting whether or not the engine will start, I am discussing possible damage to internal components due to the oil not having a proper ability to move out of the oilpan through the motor.

Amsoil:

Pour Point °C (°F) -51 (-60)

Mobil1:

Pour Point °C (°F) -48 (-54)

Havoline Full Synth:

Pour Point °C (°F) -35 (-31)

Valvoline Conventional:

Pour Point °C (°F) -36 (-32)

Penzoil Conventional:

Pour Point °C (°F) -39 (-38)

Get the picture? When I was in my late teens and didn't care at all what went into my engine and bought the cheapest stuff I could find because I was a starving post high school guy I would wonder why the engine in my cars would have shavings in the pan after the winter. Well, looking at it now I realize that just because the motor would start at -40 it didn't mean "I was all good". That's all I am saying to that.
