Oil Weight?
I am down in Texas and wondering what other Texans or southerns are using for oil. I have used Mobile 1 5W-30 when I lived up north...but now as it rarely gets that cold...and now much hotter, should I switch to 10W-40?

Any one?

Thanks...

You don't need to change the weight of your oil. Just stick w/ 5w-30
