Im not going to drive it in the snow, but it will get driven until first snowfall then stored.

10w30 vs 20w50 whats the diff? i heard synthetic in my car would cause all kinds of leaks
Hmmm. 46F degrees October average temperature and 4/5 months of below freezing.

10-40 would be my choice. Again, read what others think on the link in my post above. The idea is to protect your crank and rod bearings-#2 especially, upon startup and severe driving.
