The advertisement is deceptive since all of the oil is at room temperature. 30 weight is 30 weight at operating temperature regardless of the oil.

Perhaps a lack of competition? Anyway I was in the local GM dealer the other day and on the counter they had an advertising thingy for castrol oils, basicallly it was three sealed tubes about 4 inches long with oil and a ball bearing. One tube had synthetic, one had semi-synthetic and the last had dino. The point of it was, when you tipped it over you could see the ball bearings 'race' each other down. The fully synthetic always won, the semi was half as fast and the dino took forever.
