15w40 but winters can go either way here.
What is the thickest oil you've ran in the winter?

Straight 40 wt of many brands.
Dad didn't believe in multi grades back then so that's what I used for many yrs.
Back in those years he was smart. The old multi's were loaded with VII's
My Dad was the same, too. Everything we had in the 60's to the early 80's lived on QS SAE 30wt.

In my 2.6L Mistubishi oil burning Chrysler Van I used to run 20w50 in the summer and I would run 5w40 in the winter.

Whoa! Now that's thick! Do you run that in the winter as well?

15W50 in a 97 Honda Civic when I lived in California...pre bitog days.
When I was a kid I ran Castrol strait 30 in a Nissan truck year round. As of late I have run 10w30 rotella in my 09 Silverado. I live in Tennessee, it doesn't get real cold all that often and when it does I usually drive my wrangled which has 5w40 in it.
