5W30 vs. 10W30 in colder weather

[MY6ISQWK]

I have an 87T and live in NJ. I had a question for those who deal woth season changes.

Are you guys switching over to 5W30 when the weather turns cold or just sticking to 10W30 year-round?

10/30 is fine around these parts.

If I lived in Maine or Canada I would consider the 5/30, of course I would also consider moving too! :biggrin:

10w30 all year round when I used to drive my car daily in north NJ.

How about a filter?

Which one should I use?

I used to use an AC Delco PF52 cause it is basically an extended PF47, but then i had to switch back to a PF47 because my new intercoolers bracket had about a millimeter of clearance! hth
