winter losses

The SAE used to allow for up to a 3-mpg loss for winter operation.
Viscosities are higher at the lower ambient temps and even after 22-miles of continuous driving to reach equilibrium the viscosities are still higher than in summer.
It's a rough time for testing mods,as actual results may not be reflected until next spring.
