I try and time it so i change in early spring, no winter changes.
I have 5K on GC 0w30 on a known sludger, a 2.7 Chrysler. I usually stick to 5K synthetic changes, but based on filter dissection and clean elements, I think I can stretch it a bit. I considered dropping it the other day when it was in the 40's, and thought about using the pump through the dipstick hole today in the 20's. I decided to run it for a while and it could go to 6500 miles or so by the time I change it.
One of the benefits of using quality oil, you can extend the OCI if you need/have to. It'll be below 5F here in western Missouri in the morning.

I'm jealous of many of you. -33 C here this morning, w/ -45 C windchill. (That's -27 F/-49 F.) Breakdown maintenance only! The oil changes can wait for a couple of months.
Mission accomplished! Both OCIs done....
Where in OH are you?
We had temps in the upper twenties this past Saturday morning and even above freezing in the afternon, but we also had 6" of fresh, wet snow.
Now, over the last weekend of January, we did get into the upper forties, so I took advantage of that to change the oil in both the '12 Accord and the Forester. The Forester also got the new battery that it needed and that I'd bought for it using an AAP $50.00 off $125.00 coupon code. Thanks again, sayjack.
We had -16F on my thermometer Friday morning the twentieth, incidentally.
We're due for a few below zero mornings this week as well, with some light snow and this is the last week of February.
About time for this nonsense to come to an end.
I've had to cut the grass here as early as the third week of March.
Probably not happening this year, although when the warmup comes it often comes fast.

I saw a break in the temperature and got on my garage clothes. I use a Pela evacuator to suck out the oil, and the filter is easy to reach. Then I shoveled 6" of fresh snow off the driveway. It also helps ease cabin fever!
Well, it was 26F the other day when I did a complete chassis greasing of my semi truck outside.

Cleveland....it never hit 39 until Sunday but in my garage it was about 34F
