Hey guys..
before I ask my question, I would like to thank you all for helping me out with my little problems..
You guys deserve and round of applause!
Thx!!

Here's my question.. and i'm convinced it's an easy one for a lot of you guys, except me..

I'm currently using 5w-40 as my engine oil.. but winter is coming really soon..
I wanted to know if it was okay to leave it at that formula (since it's what they call "europeen oil" (all weather), since the car's oil has been changed 1 month ago..

Thx again!!

 

probably yes, but how cold does it get where you are?

 

i just changed mine over to 0w40 for winter

 

5w-40 year round... isn't 5w good till -13 degrees fahrenheit?

 

5w-40 will be just fine.... 10w-40 doesnt even start to strain the starter till around -5.

 

well, sometimes it can dip as low as -30 Celsius...

 

-27 degrees **** that

 

-30C !? Where you at? Last year we got down to -20F.. the 5w-40 did fine..though if it gets that low, for more than a few days, I'd use Mobile's 0w-40...

 

Just for clarification purposes...
-30C. is -22F...

... and PLEASE.. dont take this the wrong way.. it's really so were all on the same page.. or temperature reference :P

 

I'd honestly switch over to 5-30 before it gets freezing, it will be a lil easier on warmup
