Do you change oil weight for winter months? I've always ran 5w-30 Mobile 1 in my stock LS1. Do any of you change to a different weight oil for the winter months?

No. When I had a daily driver LS1 that I also used in the winter, I stuck to the same M1 0W40 regardless of the season. Temps in my area usually range from about -10°F to +95-100°F at the extremes, and this grade works well anywhere within that spread.

So what you’re saying is you run a winter oil all summer - and are wondering about running what exactly in the winter? You do know the “W” in 5W30 means “winter” right?
