Does anyone use thinner oil when winter time comes around if so what kind? Starting to get pretty cold here and I'm bout due for an oil change. Any help is great thanks

10w30 will work just fine. I used to run 0w40 all year before switching to AmsOil

Assuming you are running a 15/40 now?..and conventional? If it's synthetic, you're fine unless you are at -10 or more for extended periods. Mine works fine til it gets that cold, then it probably like a 5/40 or a 5/30 better:)
If conventional, I'd look at a 5/30 or 10/30 to improve it some.
