I've read some of the posts on oil. It seems people are saying to use mobil 1 10-30 in the winter and 15-50 in the summer. I'd just like to know why because i'm about to do an oil change in my car. The manual says to use 5-30 in the winter, Mobil 1 does have 5-30, so why not the recomendation? When I go to Mobils website it says I should use 0-40, which seems like it would be good for the winters. (I live in Vermont, very cold winters). I'd like to hear everyones arguments and opinions.
