0W30 for winte use

[renegade_987]

good afternoon all. currently using qs 10w30 in the f150. Since Iowa winters get down to the negatives, I am thinking about switching to M1 AFE 0w30 on the next change, and going back to Qs in the summer. opinions? I woild rather not use a 20 wt. Thanks

No problem, but you could use M1 0w30 all year long, really. No need to go back and forth.

 

[renegade_987]

very true, i have been very happy with QSUD, how does m1 afe compare?

I am going to use M1 0W30 in my Prius at it's next change. Running M1 5W30 now.

The winter and summer oil thing isn't really necessary in modern cars with today's oils. Just pick what you want and run it.

Try the 0-30 year round. I am running M1 0-20 year round in the Duratechs and it seems to be holding up very well in the near 100F temps we are having now.

Whatever QSUD 10w30 can do, M1 AFE 0w30 can do it too, and more.

You could also run QS UD 5w30...and be done with it year round.

I've used 0w30 year round for many years. No need to switch it out for the summer months.

0w30 and 10w30 are effectively the same when it's warm...so no need to change.

Or a nice 5-30 year round.
But the superb 0-30 is good for anything.

I would just purchase 5w30 for year-round.

+1. Just pick your favorite 5w30 and go with it. Whatever synthetic you can get a deal on would be fine.

I run 0w30 in the winter just for the cost factor. I don't need all that performance for the mild summer months...
