With fall/winter right around the corner I am debating switching from 5W-30 and running 0W-20, as I get a good bulk deal for it at work (dealership). Has anyone else had good success with 0W-20?

That is what the engine was designed for. __________________ Current project: A better alternator delete

Or do you drive places where it gets that cold (consistently below 0 F). Probably would not hurt unless the pressure at idle was too low or it was running out the tailpipe. regards mech
