0w is thinner, 0w will flow easier when it's cold. 0W will also might tend to leak when cold easier. I also don't know if the drain back valve in the oil filter will hold 0W. So is it "better"? What's "better"?.

Will you feel a perf diff? Nope. You shouldn't be driving hard while the engine is cold anyway.

Unless you live in a region that has SEVERE cold weather, it's not needed.

Look on your owner's manual for the recommended oil viscosities for diff climates.
