Oil Weight Question
It's oil change time again...I currently run Brad Penn 20W50.
I drive my '86 911 year-round, weather permitting. In the winter I only take her out on dry roads on days above freezing. Would you recommend I stick with 20W50 or put in something a bit lighter for the cold weather? Thanks!

Hi Ed!
I live just down the road from Elksnout in East Goatwhistle... Thanks for the shout-out. I still lurk on RL but it's been quiet there for awhile. Get Amar to take some more pretty pictures!

My 10 cents worth: I have been driving Porsches for about 30 years, starting with a 356B in 1968. All my Porsches were daily drivers, both in summers and, for skiing, in winters. I consistently used 10-30W oils in Winter with no problems, even here in SoCal.
