Jason, I live in MA (where the lows have hit Z.E.R.O lately) and I'm
running Mobil Synthetic 0W-50 that's right Z.E.R.O-W50 I have no problems
starting Betsy (a.k.a Plan B) in the morning and except for the belts
whining for a minute or so everything seems A-OK for my 1.9 mile daily
commute ;)

there was a discussion on this topic not long ago.

Jorge

PS: Since reading some of the latest experiences from listees, I've run
into the following:

Frozen Throttle Cable: Lotsa Fun as cruise control til you hit a red light

Spungy need to pump brakes: Will be letting a pro take a look at this one

Wouldn't mind reading more reccomendations from those that BTDTGTTS

I live in NH and it gets down to -10F in the winter.  I need to keep it simple...What oil should I use....Winter/ Summer?  I am presently running 10W40 Castrol.  I plan to start running Mobil 1 Sythetic 15W50 on the next oil change.
