Hello:
Local supplier here has GC for an excellent price and im coming up on a oil change soon. The -38 C temps have passed for now and although we may dip that low again this year I believe the coldest has passed. My questions or concerns with this oil is that is it a wise choice to be used in a 4x4 truck calling for a 10W-30 oil for summer time temps? I was hoping if I had good results with this oil that I may be able to use it year round? If I understand correctly the OW part is just the cold start flow ability correct? What will happen with this oil in higher temps? I really dont work the truck that hard but it does get hot here in the summer and cold in the winter from -40 C to +33 C. Basically what I want to know is this oil a good candidate for year round use for my application. Some light trailering (travel trailer and jet ski etc) I am just concerned that this oil is not what my owner's manual calls for. Anyone willing to share their thoughts or experiences with this oil, it would be greatly appreciated
