Personally I would stick to at least a ?W40 oil (or ?W50 for a track car/high temps), the 0w30 is quite a bit thinner than the "book" spec at operating temperatures. And it's the first number you;re looking at for winter/at cold startup.0w40, 5w40, great.. 10w40 fine.. but not 0w30. ________________________________________ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch....Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
