It does'nt "get thicker" as it heats up, it "Acts" thicker when it reaches operating temps. I remember when I went to Harley tech school, There was a seminar by a Valvoline rep, where he explained this in detail. If multi-vis oil got thinner when it got hot, there would be no reason to label it " multi-vis." Straight wheight oils start out at the rated viscosity, and drop from there as the temps climb. Multi-vis oils start @ the lowest rating, and rise to the higher rating when they reach operating temps. Check this page out. http://www.blackstone-labs.com/oil_viscosity.html
