The engine isn't going to get significantly cold, so I wouldn't worry about that. Perhaps a 10w-30 HDEO would be a good compromise when things are a bit chillier. Mobil Delvac, Shell Rotella, or Chevron Delo, or any other HDEO would work just fine. The only concern might be the winter. If you want to try something a bit different, maybe a 5w-30 high mileage order might be worth a shot, and it'll be cheaper than synthetic.
Not to say that most of the people posting have been helpful but this is a good response to my concerns and I thank you for not contributing to the other peoples arguing with each other. Sometimes it is inevitable and people like you have to step in with an answer and you get credit for that from me so thank you.
Also, thanks to everyone else that contributed to answering my questions and concerns. You guys get this statement all of the time, but I've been reading this forum and leeching for a little while now without making an account or posting and it's great to be with everyone here. I like to hear different opinions, viewpoints, and experiment with what may be the solution to any problem one may have.
