Jaykay, I was reading my manual and it states 0W40 if the car is run under -25C most of the time. I'm storing in the winter and will be using the car when it's usually over, say 10C or higher (ie. spring, summer, fall for Toronto area). Also considering as I can get Mobil1 5W40 in a 5 quart jug in the US (brother-in-law lives in NH which is tax-free and comes up all the time) for $22 each. I know this has been widely debated on this forum, but can't see why I shouldn't change based on all the information I've researched and been told through this forum. Just my thoughts!
