Exactly! 5w50 to 20w50 is the best thing for our motors, unless you live
where there is ice and you need a 10w30 or some weirdness like that.
(Sorry, can't realate to the cold climates and their needs.) Even so, use
that in the winter time and run the above weights in the summer months. I
run 5w50 synthetic in my Scirocco and the oil pressure is great no matter
what the oil temp is.
