Oil Recommendations

[Chuckler3]

I'm looking for insight into what weight of synthetic i should be looking to add to my car for the winter.. yes, it's being driven through the ice and snow. yes, it's already holding steady at 3 degrees outside.

I have minor bolt ons: headers, catless mid, fender intake.. i'm 250 miles over my oil change and am determined to get this done this weekend. the car has 80K+ miles on it.

please help

There really isnt any cons. This stuff sell for $10 less a case than 5W-20. I have ran it for 18 months without any issues.
