P.S. Don't mind Starter, he's a smart-a$$, but he'll grow on you!

I am going to probably go with 0w-40 I’m changing the oil in my bmw at the same time it takes that also so I can just get it bulk for cheap. I dont plan on driving the car in super low temps but I’d imagine toward the end of the year it’ll see 20-30f sometimes but never more than like 95f

You're in Pittsburgh, right? Do you just skip past July and August?
