Cincinnati Gang - What oil (not dino vs. syn actually 5w20 vs 5w30 vs 10w40
 
For the Cincinnati owners. As you know we see weather anywhere from a few weeks below Freezing to a few weeks above 100F. Given this, what's your oil strategy. I'm not trying to start the Synthetic vs. Dino debate. I've seen enough of that. I searched, but couldn't see what the general consensus is... Given our wild weather and suggestions? For now, I've only done 5w20 Dino all the way for the past 4 years. ...just curious.

I use 5w30 royal purple oil... but then again... mine has a turbo!!
before the turbo I got all my changes done at the dealer and they used the regular 5w20... never had a problem!

Thanks! Since I'm stock and likely will stay that way, I guess I'll stick with 520. Got my new tires today (Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons). Only drove 5 miles on them so no review yet!
