Re: best oil for cool Canadian spring

In today's world single weight oils are idiotic except for some extreme instances. You'd be MUCH more apt to do engine damage using too thick straight weight oil in a cold snap than taking a trip with 5w30 in a stock (normal operating temps) VW.
I run 5W40 year 'round in Chicago where temps go from -20f to 100f
