Message	As for the cold weight, do you park your car outside and are you starting it under extreme cold conditions? If so, then switching to a 0 cold weight would be better. If your car is garaged and not started under more extreme cold weather conditions, staying at a 5 weight would be fine. I recommend switching to a 40 or 50 warm weight, so something like a 5w40 or 5w50.
