    Anyone in cold climates use mobil 15w50 year round

    I run Rotella 15w-40 with 20%-30% Lucas oil stabilizer year round in everything from lawn mower to semi. If you have never seen or used Lucas, it is just as thick as STP. The Lucas sticks to the bearings and prevents dry starts.

    Running a thicker oil than spec harmful?

    I run Rotella 15w-40 with 20%-30% Lucas oil stabilizer year round in everything from lawn mower to semi. Most of my vehicles are high milage. Two with over 250,000 miles. My semi has 1,400,000 miles (400,000 on major overhaul).

    I agree with Quatro Pete. You would not be able to feel 7 lbs difference in tire pressure, let alone make the car ride rough. If it wasn't low when you took it to the shop, then you have something more than a slow leak and need to get it repaired.
