Why is such heavy oil used in recip aircraft engines?

I don't intend to find out!
I did help Dad start a Jacobs R755 radial engine with 50 wt oil in it at
-30F once though - it took about two hours of a large kerosene space
heater
blowing on it before we could turn the prop, much less start it.

I don't have to worry about that with my 115. When it gets really cold, I
would never get it to start.
I wonder how well the Passat would do when it is minus 30?
