Movin to Savannah

Moving down south and wanted to see if theres any kind of following down there. Also, as i am moving from a wider temperature range to a more consistently hot one, Should i change my oil from the 5-20? I have been using non synthetic, any thoughts on switching?
I use premium Gas btw. thanks

If you are around this weekend - please come over to Roebling Road Raceway. I organize a DE -- and we have lots of RX-8s and a couple of RX-7s and Miatas going to be with us.

Saturday is a great time. We have the Boys & Girls Club of Hilton Head show up and we do a family parade for them. You are welcome to line up on the false grid with the other cars - but, please, don't be too upset when you see all the kids run to the Mustangs for a ride....

Oh, and welcome to our little friendly corner of the world...

Great - stick Nov 6-7 on your calendar. Most of the RX8s will be back then - though one is a little turncoat - thinking about going to CMP with NASA. We are working on him now... or it that we are working him over now?

You got that backwards 10w40 in the winter and 20w50 for the summer.

Yes, change your oil! 5w- 20 does not cut it here.

Sorry I typed 5w20 when I actually meant 20w50 for the summer. Corrected my post.
