i used 5w30 winter for sure, 10w30 in the summer mostly. I am considering 0w40 all year round, maybe Patman can throw in some ideas as he seems to be the man to talk to when it comes to oil on here.

I also use 5w-30 in the winter and 10w-30 in the summer.

BTW, from what I read I don't think Patman is a fan of Mobil 1.

Last I heard, Patman suggests 0w40 European Formula. That's what I am running without any problems...

I'm not a fan of M1 5w30 in the LT1, but their 0w40 should work very well.

I do prefer the German Castrol Syntec 0w30 though, it's working out very well for me.
