I do my bro's Rolla oil changes, and I switched him over to Valvoline 10w30... runs so much nicer than on 5w.

10W is too stiff here in winter time, it solidifies at -18C, thats warm during winter

Besides when the engine is hot, the latter number defines the viscosity, so 5W-50, is better when its hot than 10W-30, but its also better in the cold, because its not as stiff cold as 10W-30.
