At which temperature does an oil flow better?

There is no temperature where oil suddenly starts to flow better.

A 10W/40 for example will flow between -25C and 100C or more, but there is some difference in the rate of flow! (True viscosity at -25C is about 7000 Centistoke(cSt) units, dropping to 14 at 100C.
