What oil in Texas ?
Considering we don't get too cold during the winter what oil do you all run in the colder months?

I run 5w 30 but was curious as to what other folks were running.

Re: What oil in Texas ?
I've never run anything different for the weather in my FJ. I don't feel it gets cold enough long enough. You may have a spike into the freezing zone for a while around here but I don't think it's substantial enough to make me change my oil.

Re: What oil in Texas ?
I run the same weight year around, like 5x5 said not cold enough to worry about it
