Oil change... Winter in a different climate
Hey y'all! I gotta do an oil change this coming weekend and was wondering...
I'm in south florida and currently running 4qt Rotella t 10-30 with 1qt royal purple 10-30. It being south florid and all, is it worth it to switch to 5-30? The winters here are unpredictable.

it wouldn't hurt, but i'm thinking you might be over worrying about the cold. i be stationed FLA AZ TX and points abroad... never worried too much about thinner oil. come up to snow counrty it might be worth considering.

How so? At the most it will reduce fuel economy a very slight amount. The cold viscosity will be the same, just a tad thicker when hot. I run every vehicle I drive harder than most and always run 10-40 in engines that spec for 10-30.
