Re: Engine Oil

5W-40 is a year-round oil just like 10W-30 generally is. The reason the US uses 10W-30 instead is for better fuel economy. 5W-40 is fairly widely recommended outside North America instead of our 10W-30. Having close viscosity ratings is beneficial though for other reasons such as less chemicals/more oil and better sheer stability; everything has its pros and cons.
