Its not only about the temperatures because if 5w = -15 Celsius then 20w = -6.6 Celsius
It means in colder areas its OK to use 20w oil unless the temperature goes down than -7C.

But other characteristics of 5w-30 are to be consider as well which makes it superior.

Charesteristics of oil depend on how it is formulated by the company. What additives are used in that perticular oil to make it superior.
It does not depend on grade. Grade maps the temperature and viscosity rating only.

For example. There will be a huge difference in 5w30 of liqui moly and 5w30 of toyota or some cheap brand.

In some cases charesteristics of 10w30 of some good brand like liqui moly or mobil 1 can surpaas the 5w30 of cheap brands

So charesteristics depend on the formulation of oil and additives used in the oil for better engine protection. It does not depend on the grade. Grade only reflects the viscosity rating on different temperatures .

Previously i was using zic 10w40, on a 100k drove passo and now kixx 5w30 and it has improved fuel efficiency and performance.

Go for kixx 5w30 fully synthetic its the best oil for your car.using it in my vitz 2004 for more than 50k kilometers no issues so far..best grade for your car and fuel economy...

i had been looking into characteristics of all major brands different viscosity oils and all oils of major brands including toyota have more or less similar viscosity index values and flash points and other parameters quite comparable to each other. you can also search and verify the same.

Liqui moly is no exception :).

Its different on paper and in real life.

Sometime paramets are over rated and sometimes underrated

Liqui moly is no exception. But yes it performs way better than toyota oil try it for yourself.

And many formulation charasterestics are not given in the paper or in specs sheet which make a difference.
