I'd still go with 5w30, it's not as thick. My last oil change was at the dealership since they offered me every other oil change free, so I let them do it. Big mistake. They put in 10w30. I just changed my oil now and put in 5w30 Mobil 1, and you can immediately feel the difference. It idles so smooth, you'd think it was off.
Find it hard to believe it was due to the 5W difference unless you're in Cold country - suspect more of it was due to synthetic oil.
I think 10W 30 is fine for a car that won't see freezing temps.
You're right Don, but you can testify how cold it's been in the tri-state area lately! [:0]

Tom, you're lucky you actually have a dealership service department that knows what they are doing!
