That might not be the best advice for a Windsor engine.
At 0*C, a 15w-50
oil has a viscosity of 1328
At 0*C, a 0w-30
oil has a viscosity of 475.
During a cold start, I would certainly want the lower viscosity. Get that
oil up and moving as quickly as possible.
As for a 50 weight oil, a well built Windsor just doesn't need it. It should easily be able to maintain proper oil pressure with a 30 weight. The viscosity difference at 100*C is about 80%. It takes energy to move that extra thick oil around.
