M1 0W-40 is fine for the car.

So is any QUALITY SYN with a 5W-40 rating.

Not to worry.

I just searched for M1 0W-40 at my local store. No luck!

Will there be any measurable impact on cold weather starts / cold weather lubrication performance (and I mean COLD - 10 degrees F or less) between 0W-40 and 5W-40?
