The 1 is from Mobil 1.

The idea is that in extremely hot or cold climates, the oil gets thicker. However, starting the engine is more stressful in those climates. As I've already been over, a thinner oil will seep from your internals faster than a thicker one will, making startup even more stressful. I can't recommend 0w30 daily driven under any circumstances.
