I have just recently completed the transformation of 100% synthetic fluids from bumper to bumper on my 2003 halfton silverado Z71. I live in Iowa and I'm soon going to college in South Dakota, and I have been told that the winters up there are much colder and worse than in Iowa (thought it couldnt get worse!) So i'm wondering, just how much better are synthetics in very cold weather as compared to conventional oils? I have Mobil 5w-30 synthetic in my engine, Mobil 75w-90 synthetic in both front and rear differentials, and Valvoline Dexron VI synthetic in my tranny. Let me know what you think! Thanks
