[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 11427216, member: 8854"] Jimmy, what is the temp you are recommending people switch from 10w-30 to a 5w-30? I ask because I live in the awesome (not really) kansas city MO and even though we see cold weather and snow I generally don't take my car out much when it's dipping in to the 30s because it's just pointless. Generally 40s and up I'll drive it. What's your temp cut off point? Also what's the downside to just running 5w-30 all the time? I mean it's only going to thicken to 5w when it's cold right? So if you're in texas and it's 90F out but the car hasn't been driven for a couple days it's still a cold start for an engine right? or is it not? That said ever since my engine rebuild I've run 10w-30 and in the prior winter I actually switched to 5w-30 just for the hell of it. Mobil 1 here. Thanks Malcolm [/QUOTE]
