[QUOTE="Robert Howell, post: 1025745, member: 70748"] 5W30 will continue to work well for your engine. The oil you are using is very good quality, keep it topped up and change it at the correct intervals and your engine will continue to perform well. There is no advantage to going to a 10W30 because at operating temperature both oils perform as a 30 weight oil. The 5W30 protects the engine better at cold weather start up due to it's ability to pump at a lower temperature. Just for comparison of Uncle_Bob in Cali, I run 0W-30 in our gen 1 and 0W-20 in the gen 2 due to northern Alberta. Here is a shot of our backyard thermometer for one morning last year. -50 Celsius is -58 Fahrenheit.
