So, the 10W synthetics flowed better at low temperatures than the 5w conventional oils.

As for the high end of the temperature range, I live in Texas...
Good to know. I get both ends of the stick: snow in the winter and 110 degrees in the summer. I also change my oil at 5,000 miles because at 3,000 miles I'd be changing it monthly. Sounds like I should consider synthetic.
