Tyler, you'll be fine. This is typically the coldest time of year and the
forcast for the next 10 days is for lows in the 20's and highs above
freezing. There may be colder spells to come, but they are usually short.
Mobil1 15w50 is readily available at the local WalMart if you need it.

Regards,  Vern
