[Shotimes] Re: [Shotimes] Driving in -10ºF with 10w-30 oil

[Paul L Fisher]

You never park it outside? Not even at work, grocery store?

The startup with that heavy of oil is the problem. Why do you run 10W-30?
Why not 5W-30? The lower number only takes effect when the oil is cold. Both
of them will be 30 at operating temperature.
