Which Engine Oil should I use? I live in New Orleans.....

According to

"10W-30 For areas where continuous ambient temperatures get below 50°F/10°C for significant periods of time but remain above 32°F/10°C most of the time.

15W-50 For areas where continuous ambient temperatures stay above 50°F/10°C most of the time."
