I posted a section about this awhile back, and I firmly believe that using 10w30 in summer temps to take advantage of the thermal stability is better even if your vehicle calls for 5w30 year round. Take pennzoil platinum for example... PP 10w30 has excellent cold pumping abilities, if you look at the specs on their website, pp10w30 has a slightly lower cst at 0 degress than their conventional 5w30... pp10w30 has a slightly better HTHS number, and better volatility,than pp5w30 which means alot to people who drive like me (lots of towing,heavy acceleration). I dont think there is too much difference in pumping ability in the summer time between 5w, and 10w30. I just feel more comfortable with the 10w in summer though. I really dont think it will hurt MPG as much as people think?
