<P>I had this same question about 1 month ago on here. I ran 20/50 all last winter and it sounded horrible on cold starts in the morning in the mountains. Also blew the oil filter seal 2 times. Just switched to Synthetic 5w 50. So far so good!</P>

<DIV></DIV>>With winter approaching I was wondering if it would be smart to change to a
<DIV></DIV>>different viscosity oil. I live in southen Ontario Canada where it doesn't
<DIV></DIV>>get that cold (maybe at most -15C). I'm currently using 20W50. Would it be
<DIV></DIV>>wise to change.....I'm due for an oil change soon.
