Oil-Cold Weather.

I changed my oil last night, using the regular 10w-30. It's getting cold here, below freezing just about everyday.

Should I use 5w-30, or stay with the 10w-30?

Most manuals I've seen say that 10w-30 is fine if the temps stay above 0F/-18C.

Good. I should be fine until January. We usually have a 2 or 3 week stretch around then where the temperature hovers around zero.
