Last time I got my oil changed, the Pcar tech filled me up with mobil one, 5w-30. This was in upstate NY in November about 3500 miles ago.

I now live in VA and will only drive the car in VA or more south. It is crazy hot now, often 90F+ and I may drive the car in FL a few times this year. Do you see any need to change to 0w-40 because of this or wait until the next change? Next fill, I will get 0w-40...
