What oil to use in Fall New England weather

What is a good weight to use for Fall New England weather? Any brand suggestions. I was using quaker state for my last two changes because my dad recieved a case for free, but that just ran out, and I'm due for a change in about 500 miles.
Thanks,
Dan

Only synthetic oil comes in 0w-30 grade, Mobil 1 0w-30, Amsoil Series 2000 0w-30 and Castrol Syntec 0w-30.

If you are going to use conventional oil, go with the Castrol GTX 5w-30.
