I have about a 50/50 mix of 5w-20/5w-30 Chevron Supreme in our Blazer.
All 5w-30 Chevron Supreme in my pop's Olds 88. I run 10w-30 in the summer in both of them.
5w-30 Durablend in my mom's Impala; run that year round.
Maxlife 5w-30 with one quart of Durablend 5w-20 in my Corolla.
Batteries are all new except for my Corolla - it's 5 years old and corroding badly. Had it tested yesterday and it barely passed, so if it gets well below 0, I may get the one slow crank no start at some point.
No more 10w-30s for me in winter and I'm planning to top off all vehicles with 5w-20. The 2 quarts of 5w-20 in the Blazer already make it start easier.
German Castrol 0w-30 in my car year round.
But if I were using Dino, I would do the whole 10w-30 Summer 5w-30 Winter thing you are doing.
