For a conventional oil you'd definitely want to choose 10w30 over 5w30 wherever possible (extremely cold climates not included) but for a synthetic the extra spread of the 5w30 is a non issue.quote:

So Patman,
In an application like mine (12-1500 miles/week, almost all highway), would you suggest M1 5w-30 over M1 10w-30? I've always been of the opinion, "the narrower the viscosity spread, the better". I have a "brand spankin" new car and want it to tun "forever" (or at least until I have it paid off)....
